Scrolling/keeping textArea down


Also, continuing this chat-style-program discussion, with your help I understood the sending request from a textfield using Enter key, and now I wonder if there's a way to keep textArea scrolled down. Kinda obvious question maybe. But if my chat log is in [read-only] textArea, the text adds and adds and soon I need to scroll the textArea down to be able to read it. I did what seemed obvious to me after text is added to a Response textArea:


Response.Pos = MaximResponse.Length
Response.EnsureVisible()


But that does not work the way I want it to, and I googled a lot and found out why. With all this differences in QT and GTK I can understand why, but still...

Isn't there a way to just simply scroll an element that has scrollbars? I mean by the code, not mouse. I guess not, because it is not in those toolkits, right? I kinda wonder why not?
