How can I tell a list to show the bottom by default?

Hi list,

I'm implementing a log viewer, and the usual is to show then newer entries at the bottom of the list.

I got the update mechanism working, but every time the list is updated, it shows the top of the list, even though I was looking at the bottom of the list.

How can I tell a list to show the bottom by default?

Thanks in advance!

PS: Glamour rocks!

It's a good question ...

You can manually store the value of vScrollBarValue and set it after the update, but it's a bit ugly ...

If someone have a better solution, I am interested in too :)

Hi,

You cannot do that. At least not now.

When you update a presentation, the morph gets recreated from scratch. The position of the scrollbar is not saved, and hence not recoverable. That could be an interesting addition, but someone would have to do it :)

Cheers,

Hi Benjamin,

The question was in the context of Glamour, but indeed, this could be an interesting addition to the renderer.

Cheers,
Doru
