QListWidget moving to end of list automatically

Question

I have a QListWidget that has many items added to it, however i want the QListWidget to auto-scroll to the last item everytime a new item is added to it.Is this even possible?

Solution 1

listWidget->scrollToBottom() would work

Solution 2

Should work with scrollToItem().

Could you conditionally scrollToBottom() only if it is currently at the bottom?

This won't work for the item you have just added. Or more precisely, it won't work reliably. Often by the time you added a new item, the list view does not yet know about its presence and hence cannot scroll to it.

You can check that by accessing scrollbar widget: scrollbar = myListView.verticalScrollBar(); if(scrollbar == NULL || scrollbar.value() == scrollbar.maximum()) { addItem(); myListView.scrollToBottom(); } else { addItem(); } Here we check if scrollbar exists at all (just to be safe), and if it is missing or we are already at bottom then we do scroll after adding item. Otherwise we just add item without scrolling.
