Edit Box Max Lines Problem

[gamingmouse]

I have an edit box which displays output from a command line program. The problem is that after a while (a few hundred or a few thousand lines of output -- I'm not sure exactly) the edit box fills up: after the edit box reaches its limit, new output is not displayed. That is, instead of scrolling up and forcing the first lines of output off the screen to make way for the new lines of output (the way a cmd line window works), the edit box refuses to accept new output. Is there any way I can change this behavior? Other solutions?

Thanks

I modified the code from the help file.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My GUI edit")  ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

$myedit=GUICtrlCreateEdit ("", 176,32,121,97,$ES_AUTOVSCROLL+$WS_VSCROLL)

GUISetState ()

; will be append dont' forget 3rd parameter
For $i = 1 To 30005
    GUICtrlSetData ($myedit, "line " &$i &@CRLF ,1)
Next

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

The max chars of the edit box is 30000 on my PC.

Is it the limit of edit box ??

Thanks.

GUICtrlSetLimit($EDIT_WINDOW, 0xF423F); = 999,999

GUICtrlSetLimit($EDIT_WINDOW, 0xF423F); = 999,999
