ScrollView: Scroll TextEdit to the End

[maxwell31]

Hi,

I have a TextEdit which I use in a ScrollView:

ScrollView {
                id: view
                anchors.fill: parent
                wheelEnabled: true
                ScrollBar.vertical.policy: ScrollBar.AlwaysOn

                TextEdit {
                    id: t
                    focus: true
                    anchors.fill: parent
                    text: root.log
                    readOnly: true
                    font.pointSize: 10
                    font.family: monospaceFont.name
                    selectByMouse: true
                }
            }

how can I automatically scroll to the end if the text root.log is updated? I mean I know I can use onLogChanged, put don't know how to set the scroll position.

@maxwell31 Instead of using a ScrollView you could use a Flickable with attached ScrollBar and then manually set the position of the ScrollBar in your onLogChanged handler (e.g. sb.position = 1.0)

Flickable {
  //...
  TextEdit {
    //...
  }
  ScrollBar.vertical: ScrollBar {id: sb}
}

Thanks. Yes, that should work. Flickable seems to have the side effect, that it is not possible anymore to select text in my TextEdit, which is also a necessary requirement. Is there a way to change this?

But I will make a bigger question with the detailed requirements
