Automatic horizontal scrollbar

[Mike Lischke]

Hey Neil,

I have the vague feeling this has been discussed already, but I'm not sure about the current stand. Currently, when you paste text into Scintilla which is larger than the currently visible area the horizontal scrollbar appears. Not so when you set the text via code (e.g. when loading text from a file (using SCI_SETTEXT, sometimes SCI_APPENDTEXT).

How's that supposed to work now? Is it still so that in the second case the scrollbar is not updated? It's really annoying, so I need to find a way to solve this. But maybe I'm doing something wrong and the scrollbar would normally appear in both cases...

Default behaviour is to show a horizontal scroll bar.

If you have reduced the scroll width to hide the scroll bar and turned scroll width tracking on then Scintilla should notice wider lines when painting them and then, on the next timer tick, show the scroll bar if needed. Lines that haven't been painted won't affect the scroll width.

Neil, that did the trick. I wasn't aware of that option. Thank you.
