How can I set auto-scroll for a QtGui.QTextEdit in PyQt4?

Question

So, I have a QtGui.QTextEdit that will be dynamically inserted with plain text based on what the user enters to some other QtGui.QLineEdit . As the user enters text into the QLineEdit , the user would at some point in time need to scroll down to see the latest data.

Is it possible to set an auto-scroll to the QTextEdit (which is just read only, if it matters) so that it is automatically scrolls down to display the latest data entered by the user? If yes, how?

Thanks

Answer 1

when signal QLineEdit::textEdited is emitted, append the text in QLineEdit to QTextEdit , and then:

QTextCursor c =  txtedit.textCursor();
c.movePosition(QTextCursor::End);
txtedit.setTextCursor(c);
// txtedit.ensureCursorVisible(); // you might need this also
