Scroll a window through code

Take a look at the ScrollWindow API.



Good luck!!

You could use scrollinto view method of document object of webbrowser control.

In your project, set a reference to Microsoft HTML object library

on Documentcomplete event of webbrowserpaste this:
if (pdisp is webbrowser1.object) then
    dim wbDoc as HTMLDocument
    set wbDoc = webbrowser1.document
    wbDoc.scrollintoview
end if

sorry:
if (pdisp is webbrowser1.object) then
   dim wbDoc as HTMLDocument
   set wbDoc = webbrowser1.document
   wbDoc.body.scrollintoview
end if

from MSDN:
scrollIntoView

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description

Causes the object to scroll into view, aligning it at either the top or bottom of the window.

Syntax
object.scrollIntoView([start])



Parameter Description
start  Optional. Boolean value specifying whether to place the object at the top of the window or at the bottom. If TRUE, the method causes the object to scrolls so that its top is visible at the top of the window. If FALSE, the bottom of the object is visible at the bottom of the window. If no value is given, the object scrolls to the top by default.  

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

The following example causes the element to scroll into view within the window, placing it at either the top or bottom of the window. The method is useful for immediately showing the user the result of some action without requiring the user to manually scroll through the document to find the result. This example underlines the content of the fifth paragraph and scrolls it into view at the top of the window.

var coll = document.all.tags("P");
if (coll.length>=5) {
    coll(4).style.textDecoration = "underline";
    coll(4).scrollIntoView(true);
}

Depending on the size of the given object and the current window, this method might not be able to put the item at the very top or very bottom, but will always position the object as close to the requested position as possible.

Finding Text in the Document


You can search for a given string of text in a document by using the findText method on a TextRange object. This method starts the search at the beginning of the range and, if it finds the string, positions the range so that it entirely encloses the string. The following example uses findText to search for each instance of the word "sample" and displays a message identifying how many instances it found.

var rng = document.body.createTextRange();
for (i=0; rng.findText("sample")!=false; i++) {
    rng.collapse( );
}
alert("There are " + i + " instances of sample");

Show Me


In the above example, the collapse method moves the start of the text range to the same position as the end point, ensuring that the same instance of "sample" is not counted twice.

You can carry out a global search and replace by using findText and the text property. The following example searches for each instance of "sample" and replaces it with the word "final".

var rng = document.body.createTextRange();
for (i=0; rng.findText("sample")!=false; i++) {
    rng.text = "final";
}

Show Me


You can select the text that you find, making it easier for the user to see, by using the select method. Similarly, you can scroll the text into the user's view by using the scrollIntoView method. Together, these methods give you a way to make the result of a search clearly visible to the user. The following JScript example searches for the word "sample", selects the word, and then scrolls the word to the top of the window.

var rng = document.body.createTextRange();
if (rng.findText("sample")==true) {
    rng.select();
    rng.scrollIntoView();
}

Show Me


Note that you can also create a text range from a selection made by the user. The createRange method on the selection object returns a text range. You can use the same methods and properties on this range as you do for ranges created using createTextRange.

Thanks for all the suggestions...

I attempted to implement the ScrollIntoView method using the HTMLDocument object but it doesnt seem to actually do anything even though the code is run, i could see this in a step-through.

Is there something else I should have done?

Thanks,
David.

That's a sample code, we need to modifify a little to meet your requirements exactrly.

Thanks Richie for that code sample, it did exactly what I needed it to do. Just wondering if it was possible to scroll the page before all of the document elements have loaded as some images can take a while?

Thanks to everyone else for their sugesstions.

David.

we don't have control over document until it is full loaded so i think we can't, or at least, in a decent and no infinity loop way...
if you get stuck with example, just ask...
