I'd like to have edit control cursor at page bottom after every SetData

[sshrum]

I'm sending my debugging statements to the Edit control but noticed that it is not moving with the new input and therefore I don't see the latest input (without manually scrolling).

Is there a way to have the control go to CTRL-{END} (bottom) without having to focus on the gui and sending the keystrokes?

Use _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText (from GuiEdit.au3) to add your text and then the cursor will moved be to the end.

Another solution:

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 300, 200)

$edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 10, 280, 180, BitOR($ES_WANTRETURN, $WS_VSCROLL, $WS_HSCROLL, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL, $ES_AUTOHSCROLL, $ES_MULTILINE))

$read = FileRead(@WindowsDir & "\Help\Tours\mmTour\intro.txt")

GUICtrlSetData(-1, $read)

GUISetState()

$LineCount = _GUICtrlEdit_GetLineCount($edit)

_GUICtrlEdit_LineScroll($edit, 0, $LineCount)

_GUICtrlEdit_SetSel($edit, -1, 0)

Until GUIGetMsg() = -3
