Controlling the Scrollbar position in a Text Widget [message #653723]

Hi,

I have a text widget which is updated periodically (kind of like a log) where new information is appended to the end of the text widget every few seconds by the system. I would like to make the widgets scroll to always be set to the bottom of the widget so the latest entry is always shown, i have tried using setSelection but this does not seem to work. I am using Rap 1.4 M5.

Thanks

Hi Mike,
unfortunately, it is still not possible. See bug:
319227: [Text] Multi text does not auto-scroll on append, insert operation
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=319227
Maybe as a workaround you could insert the new log entries at the
beginning of the Text widgets instead at the end. In this case you will
have always new entries on the top - no need to auto-scroll
Best,
Ivan
