EM_SETSCROLLPOS Message

An application sends an EM_SETSCROLLPOS message to tell the rich edit control to scroll to a particular point.

Syntax

To send this message, call the SendMessage function as follows.


lResult = SendMessage(
    // returns LRESULT in lResult
   (HWND) hWndControl,
    // handle to destination control
   (UINT) EM_SETSCROLLPOS,
    // message ID
   (WPARAM) wParam,
    // = (WPARAM) () wParam;
   (LPARAM) lParam
    // = (LPARAM) () lParam;

);

Parameters

wParam
This parameter is not used; it must be zero.
lParam
Pointer to a POINT structure which specifies a point in the virtual text space of the document, expressed in pixels. The document will be scrolled until this point is located in the upper-left corner of the edit control window. If you want to change the view such that the upper left corner of the view is two lines down and one character in from the left edge. You would pass a point of (7, 22).
Microsoft Rich Edit checks the X and Y coordinates and adjusts them if necessary, so that a complete line is displayed at the top. It also ensures that the text is never completely scrolled off the view rectangle.

Return Value

This message always returns 1.
