Problem
- You're dynamically adding text to the end of the buffer in
an FXText widget and you'd like for the text to automatically scroll up
so that the newly added text is always visible.
Solution
- Call makePositionVisible(pos), where pos
is the text offset (in characters) that you want to reveal. For this
case, you probably want to pass the beginning of the last row; here's
an example:
// Add some text to the end of the buffer
textWidget->appendText("Line 1\n");
textWidget->appendText("Line 2\n");
textWidget->appendText("Line 3\n");
// The length of the buffer tells us the position of the last character in the document
FXint lastPos = textWidget->getLength();
// Use rowStart() to find the position of the start of the row
FXint lastRowStartPos = textWidget->rowStart(lastPos);
// Make that position visible
textWidget->makePositionVisible(lastRowStartPos);
