Browser widget - howto scroll to end [message #448489]

Platform - Windows XP

I am using a browser widget to show some text, (its a chat application and
text gets appended to the end everytime)
problem is that I need to scroll to the end of the browser window so that
the user can see the last line.

Is there any way to achieve that?
Calling browser.getVerticalBar() always returns null, and reading the MSDN
docs show that IE does not use the window scroll bar (supplied by the
system), but draws its own

How do I get around this?

Thanks in advance,
Ishfak

If you can use SWT 3.1 (e.g. M4):

import org.eclipse.swt.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.browser.*;

public class PRBrowser {

public static void main(String[] args) {
final String SCRIPT_SCROLL = "window.scrollTo(0,100000);";

Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setText("PRBrowser");
shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
final Browser browser = new Browser(shell, SWT.NONE);
String html = "<html><body>";
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) html += "<p id='"+i+"'>Line "+i+"</p>";
html += "</body></html>";
browser.setText(html);
Button b = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
b.setText("Scroll");
b.addListener(SWT.Selection, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
browser.execute(SCRIPT_SCROLL);
}
});
shell.open();

while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch())
display.sleep();
}
}
}
