GUICtrlCreateEdit add data to last line, trying to create a "console".

[jokke]

Hiya, im trying to create a console inn a GUICtrlCreateEdit, i have a problem where i have a dataflow about 2 - 5 lines a sec, if the char "blinker" (|) is clicked at a line, all data added will start adding between old data making a soup of text.

Anyone have any idea on how to be sure data added inn a edit is allways added at the end ?

Something like:

$myEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit ( "text", left, top [, width [, height [, style [, exStyle]]]]  )
GUICtrlSetData ( $myEdit, GUICtrlRead ($myEdit) & @CRLF & "Woohoo, this is on the next line")

thanks =)

Oh I have seen that this thread is already seven years old. I guess that the AutoIt language itselfs ungoes many changes. As far as I can interpret the proposed solution from weaponx,   every time a new line is added to the "console" the complete text must be read in again, ... and again and again to display the complete text + new line.

Is this today still the top-proposal to simulate a line-based realtime output? I have not enough experience / knowledge about AutoIt to deliver a judgement. But I thought that this solution would slowdown the process when the edit-console is filled with more and more text / content.

Do you have a 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).

Return Value

 

What that means is if you put anything other than an empty string into the third parameter, then the new data is inserted into the edit control at whatever position the caret is. If the caret is at the bottom of the edit control then that is where the new data will be placed.

Or you could use _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText found in the GUIEdit.au3 UDFs.
