m0nk3yI3unz Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Heya. I searched for this but nothin came up. How do I get an Edit box to automatically scroll when I add data to it? It is read only, and I have a function that reads all of its data then append a string to it and update the edit box, but when it exceeds the length of the box, it doesn't scroll down to show the new text. I have the autovscroll or w/e set on it, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything Any help? Monkey Monkeh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCreatoR Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hi, How do I get an Edit box to automatically scroll when I add data to it?I supose you could send a Ctrl + END to the EditBox, but this doesn't work... But you can send a proper message to editbox for scrolling always to a visible carret position: #include <GuiConstants.au3> $Gui = GuiCreate("Test") $Edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("Data", 120, 40, 250, 80) $SetData = GUICtrlCreateButton("Set New Data", 20, 40) GUISetState() While 1 $Msg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $Msg Case -3 Exit Case $SetData $NewData = "New Data" _EditSetData($Edit, @CRLF & $NewData) EndSwitch WEnd Func _EditSetData($hEdit, $sData) Local Const $SB_SCROLLCARET = 0xB7 GUICtrlSetData($hEdit, GUICtrlRead($hEdit) & $sData) GUICtrlSendMsg($hEdit, $SB_SCROLLCARET, 0, 0) ControlFocus($Gui, "", $hEdit) EndFunc Spoiler Using OS: Win 7 Professional, Using AutoIt Ver(s): 3.3.6.1 / 3.3.8.1 AutoIt Russian Community My Work...

rohit Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Try using these styles with the input control Example $input = GUICtrlcreateEdit("",5,22,190,25,$ES_AUTOVSCROLL+$WS_VSCROLL+$ES_MULTILINE+$ES_WANTRETURN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0nk3yI3unz Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 Let me try it, MsCreatoR... AHA! Thanks so much! It worked like a charm! Question: What exactly does that all do? I mean the sending of the message and giving it focus? Monkeh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCreatoR Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Question: What exactly does that all do? I mean the sending of the message and giving it focus?The sending message is to "tell" to our control that we want to sroll down to caret position, and the focus is to insure that we will see the caret after new set data (not so neccessary).

Triblade Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 It does work, but maybe it has to be an GUICtrlCreateInput.At least it does work with my input in v3.2.10.0I wanted my input to be an log. So it had to be readonly and scroll to the last entry.So my input has these styles: "$ES_AUTOVSCROLL+$WS_VSCROLL+$ES_MULTILINE+$ES_AUTOHSCROLL"And after GUICtrlSetData to it I use: GUICtrlSendMsg($input, "0xB7", 0, 0) My active project(s): A-maze-ing generator (generates a maze) My archived project(s): Pong3 (Multi-pinger) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
