GuiMLTextCtrl and GuiScrollCtrl

[Stryke]

Everytime I add a new GuiMLTextCtrl inside the GuiScrollCtrl, it scrolls all the way up, so I fix this by using scrolltoBottom(). However it's annoying because it looks like the scroll bar is glitched. Is there a way to keep that scroll bar down?

BTW, this is for chatting.

What do you mean? Don't add a new one each time!

You don't need to re-add it every time you update the text ...

GuiMLTextCtrl.text @= "Whatever..";

What I mean is, this is a chatting system inside a trading system.
Everytime onPlayerChats is called, it creates a new GuiMLTextCtrl inside
a GuiScrollCtrl. But, the scrollbar goes all the way up, which prevents the
players from seeing the most recent chat message without scrolling down
themselves.

Even when you don't add a new one each time it'll still do that since
the text variable is being edited. *Tried it*.

It doesn't go up to the top, it stays where it is if you add something to the text variable.

Just use scrolltobottom() when you add something.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE 
function onPlayerChats() 
{ 
  temp.fontSize = TradeChatList.profile.fontsize; 
  temp.fontType = TradeChatList.profile.fonttype; 
  temp.fontWidth = getTextWidth(temp.fontSize, temp.fontType, NULL, player.chat); 
  if(temp.fontWidth>5850) 
  { 
    TradeChatListText.text @= "<br>Your chat message is too long, please make it shorter."; 
    player.chat = ""; 
  } else { 
    TradeChatListText.text @= "<br>" @ player.account @ ": " @ player.chat; 
    player.chat = ""; 
  } 
  sleep(0.01); 
  TradeChatList.scrolltoBottom(); 
} 

function onCreated() 
{ 
  new GuiScrollCtrl("TradeChatList") 
  { 
    profile = GuiBlueScrollProfile; 
    profile.border = 4; 
    position = { 6 , 233 }; 
    width = 330; 
    height = 60; 
    hScrollBar = "dynamic"; 
    vScrollBar = "alwaysOn"; 
    new GuiMLTextCtrl("TradeChatListText") 
    { 
      profile = GuiBlueMLTextProfile; 
      position = { 4 , 0 }; 
      width = 300; 
      height = 10; 
      text = "Trade Initialized with players: " @ player.account @ " and " @ client.TradePlayer @ "."; 
    } 
  } 
} 


It will go up.. then in 0.01 seconds, go down because of scrolltoBottom().

Why the sleep?
