Shaarad Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hello everyone, I have created a window which simply has a multiline editbox. The data entered in it can be more than its length so the user may want to scroll it(vertically) during typing. So how to create a scrollbar in the window and associate the scrollbar with the edit box ? I am new to GUI programming...it must be simple but its puzzling me... Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Moderators Melba23 Posted June 9, 2011 Moderators Share Posted June 9, 2011 Shaarad, Just create the edit with the appropriate styles and Windows does it for you: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> Example() Func Example() Local $hGUI = GUICreate("Scrolling Edit") Local $hEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("Line " & 1 & @CRLF, 176, 32, 121, 97, BitOr($ES_AUTOVSCROLL, $WS_VSCROLL)) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< GUISetState() For $i = 2 To 15 Send("{END}") GUICtrlSetData($hEdit, "Line " & $i & @CRLF, 1) Sleep(500) Next While 1 If GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop WEnd EndFunc ;==>Example You can do the same thing for a horizontal scrollbar - using the appropriate styles of course.
