Scroll line into view

SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

I am trying to scroll a stored line index into view in the syntax editor I have after a modification.

The user has the ability to view code in the syntax editor, change a property from a property grid, which edits code and gets loaded into the syntax editor.

I reload the modified code into the syntax editor after the code string is modified. Before I reload the code into the editor, I store the line index of the current displayed line. Then I set the Text property of the syntax editor. Once the code is loaded, I set the first visible line index to the index I saved previously, then I call the ScrollLineToVisibleTop() method.

The code in the syntax editor is not scrolled to the line index I set. It keeps jumping to the first line of code in the syntax editor. Is there some way I can perform this? Am I on the right track, or am I simply missing something? Any help would be appreciated. (Sample code follows)

// Save our line index so we can keep the modified code in view
int nStartPos = editor.SelectedView.FirstVisibleDisplayLineIndex;
editor.Text = this.CS_Code; // Load the modified code into the editor
editor.SelectedView.FirstVisibleDisplayLineIndex = nStartPos;
editor.SelectedView.ScrollLineToVisibleTop();

Hi John,

I don't think you need that last line. Simply setting FirstVisibleDisplayLineIndex should do what you want, unless I'm reading your message wrong.

Thank you for your prompt response!

I apologize for wasting your time. I stepped through the code again and found another event which was loading the code into the syntax editor AFTER I set the visible line index and this event was not setting the visible line. I have corrected the problem and everything works fine.

Again, thanks for your help and speedy response. :D
