Help with editcontrol

[monoceres 183]

Hello I just have one small (or two) question about the edit controls.

Why is this code just working until I reach somewhere between 50 and 70 lines of text:

CODE

$mainedit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("",0,0,250,450, $ES_MULTILINE + $ES_WANTRETURN + $ES_READONLY)

; Lots of code

_GUICtrlEditScroll($mainedit, $SB_PAGEDOWN)

And what style should I define if I just want a vertical scroll on the control?

Your code does work when it reaches somewhere between 50 and 70 lines of text. It's just that there are no scroll bars and if you are using GUIctrlSetData, it won't scroll down automatically so you won't see the text.

$mainedit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 0,0,250,450, BitOR($ES_READONLY,$ES_WANTRETURN,$WS_VSCROLL))
; Lots of code
_GUICtrlEditScroll($mainedit, $SB_PAGEDOWN)

A few recommendations:

• Download Koda (from this forum). It will make that kind of things way easier.
• If you are trying to set text in that edit control and then scroll down so you can see it, it will look really... rough when the text gets bigger and bigger. If that's what you are trying to do, then download the latest AutoIt beta and check out this function: _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText it will add data to the edit without removing previous content and will also scroll down. It looks reaaalll smooth.

good luck.
