How to scroll down the vertical bar? [message #512765]

Hi,

I need to scroll down the vertical bar (of a table and tree) to the last row programmatically. I use this:

// before add an element on a tree or table
vb.setSelection(vb.getMaximum());
vb.notifyListeners(SWT.Selection, new Event());

I've tried without success with:
vb.setSelection(vb.getMaximum() + vb.getIncrement());

Actually scroll happens tho not to the last line but until the row before the last.

Have you any idea?

Hi Julio,

This approach won't work, native Tables/Trees do not react to programmatic
changes to their scrollbars. To do this you need to use something like
table.setTopIndex(table.getItemCount()).

Hi Grant,

thank you very much for ur hint. Following ur suggestion I've solved with:

table.setTopIndex(table.getItemCount()-1);

and

tree.setTopItem(lastTreeItemAppended);
