I have a datawindow with one column that contains text of 25,000 characters.  It has a vertical scroll bar, however, the requirement is that the scroll bar automatically scrolls down if the text is more than is initially visible.

To scroll the datawindow you can use the datawindow object properties (https://docs.appeon.com/pb2021/datawindow_reference/XREF_61504_Controls_in_a.html#XREF_40675_Properties_for_the)

  • VerticalScrollMaximum
  • VerticalScrollPosition
  • HorizontalScrollMaximum
  • HorizontalScrollMaximum2
  • HorizontalScrollPosition
  • HorizontalScrollPosition2
  • HorizontalScrollSplit

So to scroll down you can use

dw_control.Object.DataWindow.VerticalScrollPosition = dw_control.Object.DataWindow.VerticalScrollMaximum

HTH,

René
