Subject: RE: What is the best way to add objects to TMemo.Lines
Hi Everyone,
That does add an interesting question.
How to create a screen similar to hyperterm or any serial terminal where
the text is added to the end and the earliest line of the screen is lost.
Memo.Lines.Add(buf);
if Memo.Lines.Count > 22 then
Memo.lines.Delete(0);
As long as the screen is longer than 22 lines the added line is always
visible. But if the buffer size was to be say 128 so that last 128 lines
are accessible then the new line is added to the end but the Delete(0) in
addition to removing the oldest line also repositions the list starting at
the first.
Having to move a scroll down bar after each entry is tedious. Especially
if they are lines from a serial port.
Another option is to just remove half the Tmemo buffer.
if COMTraffic.Lines.Count > 200 then begin
bufsize := COMTraffic.GetTextlen;
bufsize := bufsize div 2;
COMTraffic.Selstart := 0;
COMTraffic.SelLength := bufsize;
COMTraffic.SelText;
COMTraffic.ClearSelection;
end;
Other suggestions?

If that is the case why not use TListView instead? TMemo is meant for
editing text.
