Take a look at.

_GUICtrlEdit_Scroll($hWnd, $iDirection)
_GUICtrlRichEdit_ScrollLines($hWnd, $iQlines)

_GUICtrlRichEdit_ScrollLineOrPage($hWnd, $sAction)

The help file is full of various ways to accomplish that.

_GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($hWnd, $sText)

May scroll to the bottom automatically as well... I can't remember.

You need the $ES_AUTOVSCROLL style set on the edit.

You need the $ES_AUTOVSCROLL style set on the edit.

I was looking for that... Yea, that's definitely the best way...

Ok thanks for reply's

but the problem was.

let giv my scirpt a part:

$edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("[" & $Time & "]" & " #### at"& @CRLF & "[" & $Time & "]" & " ####", 16, 200, 217, 46, $WS_VSCROLL + $ES_READONLY + $ES_AUTOVSCROLL)

And then (if button is pressed)

If $x=1 Then
guictrlsetdata($edit,guictrlread($edit)&  @CRLF & "[" & $Time & "]" & " Started" )
endif

But how i he autoscroll down, when new line is set?

Thanks!! already

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
$Time = "3:45PM"
$GUI = GUICreate("Title", 300, 300)
$Edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("[" & $Time & "]" & " #### at"& @CRLF & "[" & $Time & "]" & " ####", 0, 0, 300, 300, $WS_VSCROLL + $ES_READONLY + $ES_AUTOVSCROLL)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI)

While 1
    Sleep(500)
    GUICtrlSetData($Edit, "Alright" & @CRLF, 1)
WEnd

The above script scrolls properly... The only difference I see is that your not using the last parameter in

GUICtrlSetData()... Which should be set to "1" which will actually "append" the text. As shown in the help-file.

GUICtrlSetData ( controlID, data [, default] )

default [optional]

Combo, List: The default value.

Edit, Input: If non-empty (""), the string is inserted at the current insertion point (caret).
