IGUIEditBox: set scroll pos

[mistral]

Hi,

How do you set the scroll position of the edit box without using cursor keys?
(Not after scroll bar usage, just how to set within IGUIEditBox)

Thanks

Sorry, you can't set it directly. There is some workaround - you can send key-events to gui-elements by calling their OnEvent function with key-inputs.

For example I sometimes send the following to my edit-boxes when they get the focus:

Code: Select all

 
    irr::SEvent markAllEvent;
    markAllEvent.EventType = irr::EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT;
    markAllEvent.KeyInput.Control = true;
    markAllEvent.KeyInput.PressedDown = true;
    markAllEvent.KeyInput.Key = irr::KEY_KEY_A;
    static_cast<irr::gui::IGUISpinBox*>(guiEvent.Caller)->OnEvent(markAllEvent);

Very good, I like it, thanks!

Code: Select all

 
    irr::SEvent evt;
    evt.EventType = irr::EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT;
    evt.KeyInput.Control = true;
    evt.KeyInput.PressedDown = true;
    evt.KeyInput.Key = irr::KEY_END;
    eb_log->OnEvent(evt);
