Scroll down vertical bar in a window
Hi,
I am automating a window application and I have one window that has vertical scroll bars in it. I need to scroll the vertical bar to the bottom. Is there any option to do it . MoveandResize did not work. I have a workaround to fix this (used sendkeys {DOWN 30}) to scroll down the page. But would like to know if there is a better and correct way to scroll down the vertical/horizontal bars on a window.
Appreciate your time !

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt response. I used "SelectNodeByText" method on the last node of the treeview which scrolled the window screen to the bottom of the page. I used a performClick passing X and Y coordinates of the treeview, so I had to make sure that the correct control in the page is selected by scrolling down the page to the end before calling the performclick method.
Thanks,

Hey,
Is there a control on the page near the bottom that you wish to scroll to? If so you can use the ScrollIntoView method. If there is a control on or near the bottom of the page this should get you there without having to use SendKeys.

For windows forms you can bring the control you want into focus, which should cause the scroll to happen. Each control will have a Focus method - just call it. Automation can take place without scrolling, however.
