Qt, how to set text edit scroll bar to the bottom? C++

I have the text edit box as a chat window, but I was wondering if there was a way to set the scroll bar to be at the bottom to show the most updated message.

I am currently using Qt3 and C++.

chat_box->.... I tried looking and was only able to find "ScrollBarMode" but it only lets me turn it on or off or auto... which doesn't really help.

Thanks for the help :D

Solution

  • scotchi's answer would be correct if it was Qt4. Qt3 solution would be something like:

    QScrollBar *v = chat_box->verticalScrollBar();
v->setValue(v->maxValue());

    I didn't test this code since I don't have Qt3 anymore. Check if it works.
