Question

I tried to place a TextBlock inside a ScrollViewer, and the scroll bar shows up correctly, but I cannot seem to make it automatically scroll down when the Text property of the TextBlock is updated. Here's the relevant part of the XAML:

<ScrollViewer>
  <TextBlock FontFamily="Consolas"
             Text="{Binding Current.Current.Discussion}"
             TextWrapping="Wrap" />
</ScrollViewer>

Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Solution

By default, the behavior you get is that the scroll bars will adjust to the amount of text in the textblock, but the viewer will be showing the top of the text. To refresh that properly do this:

scrollViewer.UpdateLayout();
scrollViewer.ScrollToVerticalOffset(txtBlock.ActualHeight);

OTHER TIPS

Listen to the text changed event

    textBlock.TextChanged += (o, args) => ScrollTextBoxToBotton();

Actual function to scroll to bottom:

    private void ScrollTextBoxToBotton()
    {
        scrollViewer.UpdateLayout();
        scrollViewer.ScrollToVerticalOffset(double.MaxValue);
    }
