PyQT Autoscroll down

Hi all.

I'm writting my first app in python 2.3.3 & PyQt 3.8.1.

It contains a TextBrowser component.
I'm using this for error/information log in my app,
Works fine, butt it doesn't scrolldown automatic

I was searching @ google and found this in a qt mailing list:

Code:

QScrollBar *scrollBar = textView->verticalScrollBar();
scrollBar->setValue(scrollBar->maxValue());

So how do i use this in pyqt?

TextBrowser creation:

Code:

        self.textBrowserLog = QTextBrowser(self.groupBoxLog,"textBrowserLog")
        self.textBrowserLog.setGeometry(QRect(10,50,380,70))
        self.textBrowserLog.setTextFormat(QTextBrowser.LogText)

python code for adding text to TextBrowser:

Code:

    def SetLog(self, log):
        """Set Log"""
        oldlog = str(self.textBrowserLog.text())
        newlog = oldlog + str(log)
        self.textBrowserLog.setText(newlog)

oh yeh ... that's the prob with qt doco's
You have to convert it to py yourself.

Try this (for converting the code you posted)

Code:

scrollBar = textView.verticalScrollBar();
scrollBar.setValue(scrollBar.maxValue());

Tho I'm not sure that's what you want

I do all my Qt coding using QtDesigner which is a drag and drop application. Makes it absurdly easy.
