SCI_SETYCARETPOLICY question

[Héctor A]

Is it possible to set a caret policy for only the right and bottom edges? Documentation and my own testing seem to suggest that no... but I thought it is worth asking. I'd like something like:

SCI_SETYCARETPOLICY(CARET_SLOP | CARET_STRICT | CARET_EVEN, 2);

But without the top and left margins affected if possible.

Also, is it possible to enforce this kind policy when placing the caret through mouse and not only by keyboard?

So the document is never scrolled from moving the caret up?

You can call SCI_ENSUREVISIBLEENFORCEPOLICY after mouse clicks.

Oh, I see... it seems I was getting the different caret policy combinations wrong... actually what I'd want would be independent bottom and top policies... different concept from what is currently in there. So I would say it's fine if my message is ignored in the end. If it has to come down to it, I think I can workaround into getting this, more work required and a bit hacky solution in my end, but I would say possible.

I was aware of this, but since I'm some layers above Scintilla plus I'm already using a different visible policy I was wondering if there was some built-in feature to shortcut this, but not a problem.
