Hello ...

Now that I've solved the autoresizing problem with my scrolling text field, I can't seem to wrap my mind around getting the scrolling to work.

The text field (an NSTextView within an NSScrollView) is a simple, enabled, uneditable (but selectable) field. As the program runs, I programmatically append more and more stuff to the enclosed text. I want the field to automatically scroll to its bottom as this happens, but I can't even get the scroll "thumb" to appear when the text disappears below the bottom of the window.

The documentation has me more than a little confused. Isn't the "Clip View" supposed to monitor the "Content View" (the text view in this case) and update all the scrolling components as needed? If not, then what am I supposed to do to update all that stuff (and get the field to always scroll to the bottom)?


HyperCard was so much easier ...


Thanks and regards,

DayLateDon

Hello ...


Received an answer via USENET.

The scroll-to-bottom trick is handled by sending "scrollRangeToVisible:" to the text view.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1"face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR><pre><font size=1 face=courier>
[myTextView scrollRangeToVisible:
NSMakeRange([[myTextView textStorage] length], <font color = blue>0</font>)];
</font>[/code]
