I have a Navigation-bar in my program that allows you to navigate the different sections in my TextBox, but the problem I have is that this doesn't work if the Text I am scrolling to is already visible on the screen.
Like in this example, if I try to jump from Section 1 to Section 3, it won't work as it's already visible.
But, in this example if I jump to Section 3, it works fine as it's not already visible.
The scrolling function I use is very simple:
if (nLine > 0 && nLine <= textBox.LineCount)
textBox.ScrollToLine(nLine - 1);
I hope that someone can shed some light on an alternative solution that allows me to scroll even if the text is already visible.
Edit: Added solution.
This is a code snippet from my project.
private static void ScrollToLineCallback(DependencyObject target, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var textBox = (TextBox)target;
int newLineValue;
if (Int32.TryParse(e.NewValue.ToString(), out newLineValue))
{
if (newLineValue > 0 && newLineValue <= textBox.LineCount) // Validate
{
textBox.ScrollToLine(newLineValue - 1); // Scroll to Line
// Check and see if we are at the line we want.
if (textBox.GetFirstVisibleLineIndex() <= newLineValue && textBox.GetLastVisibleLineIndex() >= newLineValue)
{
// If not lets move to the desired location
int newLineCorrectionValue = newLineValue - textBox.GetFirstVisibleLineIndex() - 2; // How much further do we need to scroll down?
for (int i = 0; i < newLineCorrectionValue; i++)
{
textBox.LineDown(); // Scroll down
}
}
}
}
}
