Hi all,

BB offers edit field controls for string input/output in forms.
In the properties inspector window there is a check box "multi line"
for edit field controls.
When checked, the edit field shows a srcoll bar on its right side and
several lines
of text may be displayed in the edit field.

I intended to use such a multi line edit field for logging purposes.
Everything fine so far. But when adding more and more lines of text
to the field the scroll bar
shrinks and the added lines disappear at the bottom of the edit field.

The edit field always shows the beginning of the text. I intended to
get a behaviour like an
old ASCII terminal where the text scrolls up when new lines are added
at the bottom, so
the text added last is always visible.

Is there any simple way to get this behaviour with an edit field in a
form ?
My intention is not to open a new window for displaying the text but
to show the
text at a fixed position in a form.

Thanks in advance for any comments and hints :-)

Best regards,
Rainer
