I have a TextView in a ScrolledWindow, and a process writes output to it; every time a line is written, it scrolls to the end using TextView.scroll_to_iter. However, this means it's hard to scroll up to view earlier output.
What I want to do is check if the last line is visible before printing a line, then print the line, then scroll to the end only if the last line was visible before: textbuffer = textview.get_buffer() scroll = [if end is visible] textbuffer.insert(textbuffer.get_end_iter(), output + '\n') if scroll: textview.scroll_to_iter(textbuffer.get_end_iter(), .0) - So that it's possible to view stuff earlier on without being scrolled back to the end all the time, but you can return to auto-scrolling by scrolling back to the end manually. I haven't been able found any functions for TextViews/TextIters/TextMarks in any reference that would do this. _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [email protected] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/
