Rick Text Control _Scrooling

[sweep123]

Simple question how do you always have the text being written to this control visible; i.e. the data added onto the text is always show; i.e. the scroll bars always being move to the botton for new data.

e.g.

Data crlf
New data crfl etc
etc

The text grows.

I have used the following:-

SCROLLINFO scrollInfo;
CRicd_output m_Output; // Rick Text Control


m_Output.GetScrollInfo(SB_VERT, &scrollInfo, SIF_ALL);
scrollInfo.nPos = scrollInfo.nMax;
m_Output.SetScrollPos (SB_VERT, scrollInfo.nPos, TRUE);
UpdateData(); // Refresh the control

But how do I use the message:-
OnVScroll(SB_VERT, scrollInfo.nPos, Scrollctrl of the Rich Text Control);

do you experience any problems on using this message?

Yes, what should be in the routine OnVScroll() and how do I call it, I dont know the 3rd parameter 'Scrollctrl of the Rich Text Control'

Everything works OK if I use the mouse to move the Scrollbar, but I still have to do this, help!

there is nothing specific to richedit. This is a standard API for any kind of windows. So, to handle WM_SCROLL you may subclass the richedit. To scroll send message WM_SCROLL, read documentation for message WM_SCROLL and for function SendMessage.

read the manual, I gave you the correct dirrection. This is not a big technical issue you to afford when working with SendMessage. Try msdn.microsoft.com or of course google.com.
