[SOLVED]QPlainTextEdit scroll to the bottom

thehilmisu

Hi everyone,
I have qplaintextedit and i use insertplaintext method to add some info to qplaintextedit. But i want it to scroll automatically to the last inserted string (bottom).

How can i do that?

Thanks in advance.

Just use the setValue function of the vertical scrollbar.
Something like:
MyTextEdit.verticalScrollBar()->setValue(MyTextEdit.verticalScrollBar()->maximum());

Hi,

Call "ensureCursorVisible()":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qplaintextedit.html#ensureCursorVisible on your text edit after insertion. Remember to call "setCenterOnScroll(true)":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qplaintextedit.html#centerOnScroll-prop when initializing.
