No Scrolling in RichEdit

What do you mean with 'updated'?

I know what he means..

In the RichEdit as with TMemo, when you programatically dump alot of text in the box the cursor goes to the end.
I believe he wants to reposition the cursor to it's original spot.

FROM THE HELP FILE
Read SelStart ...
If there is no selected text, SelStart indicates the position of the cursor. Set SelStart to remove the current selection and position the cursor just before the indicated character.

Try this ...

Richedit1.loadfromfile(blah.rtf');
Richedit1.SelStart := 0;

Um...

Richedit1.loadfromfile(blah.rtf');
Richedit1.SelStart := 0;
RichEdit1.SelLength := 0; // avoid selecting text

The text in RichEdit was written via a set of RichEdit1.Lines.Append('Text');
Another Update button will reload that set of RichEdit1.Lines.Append('Text');

Each time, it will go to the last line. I would like to keep the current viewing position. Is that possible?

I would add to the above:

with richEdit1.lines do
begin
 beginUpdate;
 append('text');
 selStart := 0;
 endUpdate;
end;

This way there is no rawing done until everything is finalized.

procedure addtext();
var cpos: integer;
 with Richedit1 do
  begin
  cpos := selstart; // get starting position
  Lines.Append('Text'); // add text
  SelStart := cpos; //reset starting position
  SelLength := 0; // no selected text when finished.
  end;
end;

** Edey: I trust that is important but I'm still kinda new, what might happen?

Don

procedure addtext();
var cpos: integer;
 with Richedit1 do
  begin
  cpos := selstart; // get starting position
  Lines.Append('Text'); // add text
  SelStart := cpos; //reset starting position
  SelLength := 0; // no selected text when finished.
  end;
end;

Don

um, don't refresh after posting :)

ALSO note that there shouls be a ; after the

var cpos: integer;

The comma snuck in there.

Don

Have you tried

procedure addtext();
var cpos, I: integer;
with Richedit1 do
 begin
 cpos := selstart; // get starting position

 for I:=1 to 100 do
 Lines.Append('Text'); // add text

 SelStart := cpos; //reset starting position
 SelLength := 0; // no selected text when finished.
 end;
end;

Sweet.  Thanks for the tip  :)

Glad to be of service :)

If using

memo1.lines.beginUpdate;
memo1.Lines.Clear;
for ix := 0 to 1000 do
memo1.Lines.Append(chr(ord('a')+random(26));
memo1.lines.endUpdate;

Can it stop at the current viewing position?

ysimon

Yup, the logic is the same as before:

memo1.lines.beginUpdate;
startPos := memo1.selStart;
for ix := 0 to 1000 do
memo1.Lines.Append(chr(ord('a')+random(26));
memo1.selStart := startPos;
memo1.lines.endUpdate;

Yes, you are right.
In my case, it always goes to the end after For Loop.
I have to find why.

ysimon

I found why it always go to end. Because I set vertical scollbar. If set to None, like your example, it will stay at beginning. Any suggestion?
