edit boxscroll down

When writing in a multiline edit box I would like to get it scrolled down automatically. How can I do ?

I seem to recall that Yair Altman has a way to do it by going in at the Java level. See his UndocumentedMatlab site .

There is no supported method of doing it.

Well, not that would be acceptable to most people. If you put the edit box inside of a uipanel and set the panel to clipping, you can set the Position of the edit box within the uipanel in order to scroll / pan the edit box. Getting this to work in concert with the scroll bars of the edit box is whole other problem...

MATLAB: How to turn on the vertical scroll bar on a multi-line static textbox object

The ability to have a vertical scroll bar on a multi-line textbox is not available in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1).

To work around this issue, you can use a editbox where the "Min" and "Max" properties are such that "Max - Min > 1".

h = uicontrol('Style','edit','Position',[10 10 150 50],...
      'min',0,'max',2,'enable','inactive'); % create a listbox object
str = {['Since its founding in 1984, MathWorks has become the leading ',... 
   'global provider of technical computing and model-based design ',...
'software. Headquartered in Natick, Massachusetts, MathWorks ',...
'currently employs more than 1,000 people worldwide. ']};
set(h,'String',str) % display the string
