Non scrolling editbox?

[rickbras]

I recently asked this question here and got some helpful hints, however, they did not solve the problem. In my VFP 3.0 (I am unable to upgrade for this project) program I have an edit box I am using to display, search and edit a memo field. My search program works just fine except when the 'found' string is out of view (below the edit box borber). The 'found' string is highlighted, but I have to use the scroll bars in the edit box to get to it. The text will not automatically scroll to the selected string. Is this normal or am I just over looking something? I was told in my earlier post that VFP 6 would cure my problems, but I am bound to 3.0 for this project.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any help will be very much appreciated.<br>Rick&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ya that was me&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And you tried SetFocus() and the control's Refresh() right?&nbsp;&nbsp;What about KEYBOARDing to it programmatically instead of manually?<br>Maybe your code block will help here.<br><br>John Durbin<br>

John,<br>Thanks for replying again. This thing has me at wits end. I tried KEYBOARDing into the edit box, but it still behaves the same. It doesn't seem to matter how I enter it still will not scroll automatically. To prove to myself it can be done, I used Control F from the keyboard to do a search in the edit box and it works great that way. Unfortunately, due to some other criteria I must meet I can't use that method in the finished product. I even tried inserting a KEYBOARD '{pgdn}' to achieve the scroll, but I was unable to get it to fire at the right location.&nbsp;&nbsp;Again, thanks for the continued help. I think maybe my aged brain has taken a vacation on this one.<br>Rick
