Re: automatic scrolling a field to the bottom when Text is entered

[Sarah]

How about trapping the keyUp message (if you want to scroll as the user types) or closeField / exitField if you just want to scroll when they have finished. Note: if they are typing into the field you want scrolled, it will scroll automatically when needed, indeed if they are typing in the middle and you scroll to the end, they might get a bit upset :-)

The actual script I use for scrolling is:

set the vScroll of field "My Field" to the number of lines in field "My Field" \
* the effective textHeight of field "My Field"

You have to use "effective" because the text size may only be inherited and may not have been set.

Cheers,
Sarah

I already did this once. It included an "oldText" property, a "send to me in 1 second" handler and some calculating of the "formated height".
but I do not want to do it like that again, there must be a simpler solution to scroll a field all the way down when text gets entered (whether by hand or by script)

thanks
