[append] write text always to the end of edit box

[simplercoder000]

Hi there,

I have been looking this for a while, the text inside edit boxes can be massed when the user points the mouse in one of the lines or selecting part of lines inside the edit box.

this behavior can cause massing the entire text sorted in the edit box which is really annoying.

I have been looking for a solution and fortunately there's already workaround solution written by @Melba23

Original link is here:

 

I would like to highlight this issue here in case somebody needed this in the feature :).

Here's an very easy example so you guys can compare:

expandcollapse popup

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>
#include <ScrollBarsConstants.au3>


#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 373, 344, 192, 124)
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 16, 16, 337, 257, $ES_READONLY)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Normal", 48, 296, 75, 25)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Append", 248, 296, 75, 25)
GUICtrlSetData($Edit1, 'Try selecting part of this text' & @CRLF & 'before you click on the buttons !' & @CRLF, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

$SomeText = @CRLF & 'This is an example'


While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button1
            GUICtrlSetData($Edit1, $SomeText, 0)
        Case $Button2
            AppendEditBox()
            GUICtrlSetData($Edit1, $SomeText, 0)
    EndSwitch
WEnd


Func AppendEditBox()
    ; source: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=110948
    Local $iEnd = StringLen(GUICtrlRead($Edit1))
    _GUICtrlEdit_SetSel($Edit1, $iEnd, $iEnd)
    _GUICtrlEdit_Scroll($Edit1, $SB_SCROLLCARET)
EndFunc   ;==>AppendEditBox

 

I hope that helps somebody.

Thanks!
