Hi Guys,

Please quick help. I want my chat application to scroll to the latest message label.

Currently as new labels are added, they are hidden at the bottom unless the container is scrolled up.

I would like to automatically scroll up when the container is full to the bottom.

My research shows that scrollComponentToVisible() should work but it doesn't.

Here is my simple test code.

protected void onMain_BtnAddAction(final Component c, ActionEvent event){
        Label l = new Label();
        l.setName("label"+count);
        l.setText("New Label"+count);
       
        findMainContainer(c.getComponentForm()).addComponent(l);
        findMainContainer(c.getComponentForm()).scrollComponentToVisible(l);
        c.getComponentForm().revalidate();
       
        count++;
       
    }

On clicking the button, a new label is added to a Container with BoxLayout Y (set to scrollable on Y axis).

Help is much appreciated.

Place the revaidate first and the scroll next.
