Re: [Gambas-user] TextArea scrolling
Thanks! This solution works in my case: TextArea1.Text = Something gb.NewLine TextArea1.Pos = TextArea1.Length TextArea1.EnsureVisible() Jussi 2009/5/25 Benoît Minisini gam...@users.sourceforge.net: When adding line to textarea: TextArea1.Text = Something gb.NewLine Cursor jumps to columnline zero. Normal, you are assigning the Text property. Use the Insert() method instead. Ok... I did it vb6 way... But there is still problem. Mouse click on the textarea mess up the cursor position, and next insert ruins output. Even if ReadOnly property is True. And also I use Mid$() to edit content of the textarea. Like this; Mid$(.Text, (Len(.Text) - iLastMessageLen), Len(.Text)) = (sTellMe gb.NewLine) It is meant to correct the output afterwards if needed. But maybe there is other way to erase last message and replace it with new one... this is quickly converted from vb6 code. Is there way to determine cursors last column and last line? At this point I'm not sure how to do this... Jussi Use The Pos property to set the position of the cursor. To solve your problem, just set the cursor to the end of the text before calling Insert: MyTextArea.Pos = MyTextArea.Length MyTextArea.Insert(text) Moreover, you must use UTF-8 String methods to deal with the contents of any GUI Text property. I suggest you read the documentation of the TextArea widget carefully! Regards, -- Benoît -- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.

Re: [Gambas-user] TextArea scrolling
Hi! I must wake up this forgotten issue... This is still valid problem and I got more information about it. This line of code: TextArea1.EnsureVisible() In GTK+, makes textarea to scroll down, but in Qt it in fact do opposite, scroll up! So if you haven't touch to scroll bar, it looks like it doesn't do anything. I think EnsureVisible should ensure that last message is visible not first.

Re: [Gambas-user] TextArea scrolling
OK, two problems. When adding line to textarea: TextArea1.Text = Something gb.NewLine Cursor jumps to columnline zero. Other problem is that I need propertie ReadOnly to be True, and then at least the cursor is not visible if there even is one. Jussi 2009/5/25 Benoît Minisini gam...@users.sourceforge.net: Hi!

Jussi According to the Qt/GTK+ documentation, EnsureVisible() should ensure that the cursor is visible, not especially the last line. Can you check the position of the cursor before calling EnsureVisible() ? -- Benoît -- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
