QScrollArea stay down

[bunjee]

Is there a way to force QScrollArea to stay down ?

Like an instant messenger conversation.

I tried with the following implementation, but it makes the view flickers:

void ZeScrollAreaWidget::onRangeChanged(int min, int max)
{
	if (isStayDown() == true)
	{
		if (verticalScrollBar()->sliderPosition() == mOldMax
			||
			mOldMax == -1)
		{
			verticalScrollBar()->setSliderPosition(max);
		}
	}
 
	mOldMax = max;
}

void ZeScrollAreaWidget::onRangeChanged(int min, int max)
{
	if (isStayDown() == true)
	{
		if (verticalScrollBar()->sliderPosition() == mOldMax
			||
			mOldMax == -1)
		{
			verticalScrollBar()->setSliderPosition(max);
		}
	}

	mOldMax = max;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Is there a way to avoid this hack? Or do I have to reimplement QAbstractScrollArea

Thanks.

You want that the slider autmatically scrolls down as the chat is in progress ??
Have a look at
QScrollArea::ensureWidgetVisible and

QScrollArea::ensureVisible
Hope it helps

Thanks,

It works, but when calling it in a resizeEvent : flickering persist.

I think I have to come up with my onw QScrollArea .
