Scrolling a multiline Edit(box) automatically (Win32)

[Vitaly Belman]

I'd like to scroll to the bottom of an Edit automatically whenever a line is added, so I wrote this:


SendMessage(hWnd(), LOWORD(WM_VSCROLL), SB_BOTTOM, 0);




hWnd() returns the hwnd of the edit.

This worked just fine under Win2k but it doesn't work at all under Win98. What am I doing wrong?

Try writing something like this:

//////////////// My Edit Box Control settings: ////////////////////
EDITTEXT        IDC_EDIT1,12,88,396,98,ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL | WS_VSCROLL
CString	m_EditBoxValue;
DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_EDIT1, m_EditBoxValue);
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

CEdit * eb;
eb = (CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1); // Set V

//this is an example

for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{

   m_EditBoxValue += "New Text ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Tralalalalalalalalal";

   UpdateData(FALSE); 

   eb->LineScroll(eb->GetLineCount());

Hope, someone finds it useful.

"Hope, someone finds it useful."

I do not expect some people to understand what they read and why I have posted that replay. Some are just too narrow minded i.e. lack of imagination Have a nice day "Einstein".

Sorry, I really didn't understand how important is to solve Win98 problems... It is not enough that program runs successfully in Win2K - we should not forget about Win98/95 users.

The question is: was this solution even tested on Win98?
