PtMultiText & a lot of text lines

Hi.

If new text lines are added into the PtMultiText widget
at the end of its text buffer by PtMultiTextModifyText()
function, the widget begins to scroll to the new added
text line.
Make Application window in PhAB seems to work very well.
I would like to make such window without automatic
scrolling.
I’ve tried to disable Pt_EMT_SCROLL_TO_CURSOR in MultiText
Flags, but it doesn’t work.

Thanks for any suggestions.
Milan.

Hi Milan,

There is an experimental fix for the problem you were having with the
PtMultitext widget and the Pt_EMT_SCROLL_TO_CURSOR flag. If you go
to the following site:

http://developers.qnx.com/Fixes/Software

There is a phlib_s11.tar.gz and also a phlib_s11.readme file that you
can install and see if it gets rid of your problem. The readme file has
the instructions for installing the libraries.

Hope this helps
Regards
Brenda

Hi Brenda

The exprimental fix really solves the problem with PtMultitext and
scrolling its content regardless Pt_EMT_SCROLL_TO_CURSOR flag, even
widget’s vertical scroll bar is used.

Thank you very much

Milan.
