TEAutoView

The TEAutoView procedure enables and disables automatic scrolling of the text in the specified edit record.

PROCEDURE TEAutoView (fAuto: Boolean; hTE: TEHandle);

fAuto

A flag indicating whether to enable or disable automatic scrolling. A value of TRUE enables automatic scrolling. A value of FALSE disables automatic scrolling.

hTE

A handle to the edit record for which automatic scrolling is to be enabled or disabled.

DESCRIPTION

The TEAutoView procedure does not actually scroll the text automatically: TESelView does. However, when fAuto is set to FALSE, a call to TESelView has no effect.

If there is a scroll bar associated with the edit record, your application must manage scrolling of it. You can replace the default click loop routine, which scrolls the text only, with a customized version that also updates the scroll bar.

You can also enable or disable automatic scrolling for an edit record through the teFAutoScroll feature of the TEFeatureFlag function.
