[pygtk] Textview to Tail a log file

[Aravind Vijayakumar]

Hi Mark,

Not sure why your code doesn't work, here is my recipe that works for me:

def send(text_view,message):
        """
        Inputs : Text view to send to, message to add to the end of the current text
        Notes  : message may be a list of strings.
        """
        buf = text_view.get_buffer()
        if type(message) == str:
            buf.insert(buf.get_end_iter(),message)
            text_view.scroll_to_iter(buf.get_end_iter(),0)
        elif type(message) == list:
            for msg in message:
                buf.insert(buf.get_end_iter(),msg)
                text_view.scroll_to_iter(buf.get_end_iter(),0)

Subject: [pygtk] Textview to Tail a log file


Hi,

I am new to GTK+ so please go easy on me. I am puzzled as to why my 
simple function is not working:

def refreshLog(self):
        file = open('log.txt')
        string = file.read()
       
        textview = self.gui.get_widget("bottom_textview")
        textbuffer = textview.get_buffer()
        textbuffer.set_text(string)
       
        iter = textbuffer.get_end_iter()
        iter.forward_to_end()
        print iter.is_end()
        print textview.scroll_to_iter(iter, 0, True) 


is_end returns true so I know my iterator is at the end of the text
 file 
yep scroll_to_iter returns false and does not scroll at all. What is 
wrong? Could it be something in my glade file? The rest of the gui 
works. Thanks


Mark
