Whenever I add a text to an edit box (it has a 10 line size, multiline and VScroll) the scroll bar focuses itself to the top of the box.. is there any way to force the bar down?

I tried this as well, as taken from MSDN help and such:

Window1.SendControlMessage ("Test", EM_SCROLL, SB_PAGEDOWN);

But, it said EM_SCROLL and SB_PAGEDOWN are undefined...

Yes, you will need to define those in your JS. I suggest you to make them public (put them over all other code):

code:

---

var EM_SCROLL = 181;
var SB_PAGEDOWN = 3;

---

Those are defined in "windows.h", a C/C++ header file. I have given you the right values, so just enjoy it!

To find windows messages out yourself, I suggest you to download the Platform SDK (if you don't already have it), and open "winuser.h" or "windows.h", and find the value you are looking for.

Also, make sure you send this message to the richedit/edit, not the whole PlusWnd.

Edit: windows.h is a C header file.

Edit2: In order to make this work, you will have to call like this:

code:

---

Window1.SendControlMessage("Test", EM_SCROLL, SB_PAGEDOWN, 0);
);

---

Oh, lawl, I see.

Yeah, I know, I work with C, I just didn't decide to go looking in my library files.. thanks.

EDIT: Perfect! Exactly what I needed.
While I'm here, is there a way to hide buttons from the script?

-Paril

Please check Edit2 in my other post, which I just did add. It's rather important to get it to work.

Yes, I figured that since MSDN told me to set it to zero either way. Read my edit above, please.

-Paril

Use the ShowWindow API with SW_SHOW and SW_HIDE.

Not the whole window, I mean a single control.. unless that's what you mean?
Example please?

-Paril

Get the handle of the control and send the SW_HIDE message to the control instead of the window. That should work.

I still don't really understand how to 'send the message', I tried this:

Window1.SendControlMessage ("Btnid1", SW_HIDE, 0, 0);

but it did nothing.. I don't know the args, if any..

EDIT: Oh, wait, do you mean from a seperate C DLL?

EDIT TWO: I see now that ShowWindow is a JScript func.. but this doesn't work:

        var handle = Window.Handle;
       
        ShowWindow (handle, SW_HIDE);

I do have SW_HIDE defined and the Window as well...
