How do you...

[Ranmaru]

How do you...

1. Scroll down a List object by script.

2. Make new lines into a Input component.

(Tried @LF, @CR, @CRLF and all they do are squares, also tried \n and that has no effect.)

Thanks in advance.

1. I didn't really understand your question, but I think you are looking for $WS_VSCROLL

2. GuiCtrlCreateInput("Line1" & @CRLF & "Line2", 10, 10, 100, 50, $ES_MULTILINE)

Tried the 2. and it works, thank you. What I meant in the first question was that if you could make it either automatically scroll the list down if more entries are added or do it by code with a certain message to the control or if such a way is possible. But I'm not sure if I will need to know that now with the inputfield working, going to test it in my program now and report back here about the results. Thank you.

Ok.. So the problem I have now is to give the control both multiline and readonly.

These are the ways I've tried:

Global $chatField = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10, @DesktopWidth-200, @DesktopHeight-50-100)
GUICtrlSetStyle(-1, $ES_MULTILINE)
GUICtrlSetStyle(-1, $ES_READONLY)

GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10, @DesktopWidth-200, @DesktopHeight-50-100, Bitor($ES_READONLY,$ES_MULTILINE))

[poisonkiller]

I tried that too, doesn't work on my comp. But this worked:

$chatField = GUICtrlCreateInput("Line1" & @CRLF & "Line2", 10, 10, @DesktopWidth-200, @DesktopHeight-50-100, $ES_MULTILINE)
GuiCtrlSetStyle($chatField, $ES_READONLY)

EDIT: Does anyone know, how to make a list autoscroll? Help file says, that $ES_AUTOVSCROLL only works when user presses Enter key.

Tried the other thing with the bitor function, but it didn't work. This way it worked. However now there rises another problem.. The text input is used as a field where the chatmessages from the server are placed, however it doesn't give a scroll for it when the lines go past the field (don't even know if they are there..) so my problem is to get a scroll to it and having it to keep it scrolled down all the time like how MSN and other IM and chat applications work.

Yes poisonkiller, I looked up how I've done it before and I've done what you suggested. I should have tested what I posted

Maybe it would be easier to use an edit rather than an input. The GuiEdit.au3 in the includes gives functions for scrolling to a line or caret position etc.

Apologies if I wasted your time with my duff BitOr suggestion.

I guess I'm boring, but why not just use GUICtrlCreateEdit ?

[Ranmaru]

Using it now. :$

Ermm.. But I still get no scrollbar, how do I add that?

EDIT: Scroll added and it's scrolling now when new messages are added! Thank you all!

I'm using AutoIt v3.1.4.9 and I can see disabled vertical and horizontal scrollbars when I use GuiCtrlCreateEdit...

Fill the control with data and they'll be enabled.

GUICreate("", 100, 100)
GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 10, 80, 80)
GUISetState()

Sleep(2000)

For $i = 1 To 200
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, @ScriptFullPath, True)
Next

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = -3
