Have a TMemo/ TRichEdit scroll to the cursor position

9 comments. Current rating: (4 votes). Leave comments and/ or rate it.

After placing the cursor at the desired position using the SelStart property,
you should use the EM_SCROLLCARET message to scroll the caret into view,
as shown in the piece of code below.

(To set the SelStart property to a x/y coordinate, also read this tip:
Access the current row/column of a TMemo.)

	// scroll caret into view, // the wParam, lParam parameters are ignored SendMessage(Memo1.handle, EM_SCROLLCARET,0,0);

That was what I needed to! I used these lines to scroll to bottom of a log file: RichEdit1.SelStart := MaxInt; SendMessage(RichEdit1.handle, EM_SCROLLCARET,0,0);

The EM_SCROLLCARET on Win2000+ doesn't work with the window minimized. Is there a way to solve this?
