Programming PgUp and PgDn in Edit Control

Hi.
Need to show a RTF string in a Edit Control that needs to have no scroll bars. Basically I need to implement PgUp and PgDn functionalities to the text being showed.

Looking for the CRLF in the string I could determine where each line starts but with the Cursor property I could not figure out how to set a certain line to be the first to show in the Edit.

Any help on how could I do that ?

Just an idea, is there a way similar to ExecuteProcess that I could trigger the vertical scroll ?

Hi Marco...

if I'm not mistaken, as long as the field is in edit mode (ie active), pageup and pagedw will work even if the scrollbar are not visible, when the cursor is in the field of course...

And if hte user is not allowed to modify, just add:
FieldName=FieldOriginalValue in the 'modification' code of the field

Best regards

Fabrice, my bad, I forgot to mention that the Edit is Read Only and I don't want its I-Bean cursor to show.
My real intent is to show the text in a presentation like way (like PowerPoint).
Thanks.

Hello,

Maybe you can do something with Sendkey
When you know that your first line of text is on line 10 en your control can contain 15 lines of text you can do something like:

loop(25)
SendKey("%{DOWN}",YourControlName)
end

Did not test anything...

Regards Harry

SendKey("{PGUP}", myEditControl) worked just fine, thanks for this solution.
Now I have another problem, whenever I do this the vertical cursor (I-Bean) shows in the edit and I want it not to show.
Any clue ?

Hi Marco,

Simply SetFocus() after your SendKey() on another control and you'll be in business.

Kind regards.

Harry and Alexandre, thanks a bunch for the help. All is working as desired.
Have a blessed weekend.
