How to stop autoscrolling on the CEdit control.

Hello,

I've written some app in MFC for logging through the COM port of my PC, all data I receive I put into CEdit control, and here I have a issue, sometimes it is necessary for me to analyze data and I wish to stop autoscrolling of my control and just freeze on current view for a while, during that time I wish to my incoming data still were written to the control. Is there anybody who can advise me how to accomplish such a functionality ?

Please take a look on function by which a add data into my control,
b_DataFreezeToggle variable is a toggle variable I've tried to get number of line to which my view supposed to return after filling control.

Code:

---

void MyDialog::AppendTextToEditCtrl(CEdit& edit, LPCTSTR pszText) {
        // get the initial text length
        int nLength = edit.GetWindowTextLength();
        // put the selection at the end of text
        edit.SetSel(nLength, nLength);
        // replace the selection
        edit.ReplaceSel(pszText);
        if(b_DataFreezeToggle) {
                vs_debug("Selection set %d\n",nFreezedPos) ;
                edit.SetSel(nFreezedPos, nFreezedPos,FALSE);
        }
}

---

Please take a quick look, I'd really appreciate your help

Cheers

Edit control is not convenient for this purpose (simultaneous logging + analyzing).
ListBox could be more appropriate for this purpose. Have a look at A Logging ListBox Control

Did you read the documentation for CEdit::SetlSel? What does the last argument do?

Hello,
thank you very much for your reply, I think Victor's example is what I was looking for :) Great thanks one more time :)
