macOS Scrolling an NSTextView

[Soulstorm]

How can I scroll down programatically an NSTextView? My purpose is to make a text view scroll down as I add more things to the text view without any user interaction.

Any ideas?

You can't. NSTextViews don't scroll. Scrollable NSTextViews as dragged in IB are actually 3 views: An NSScrollView contains an NSClipView contains an NSTextView.

Scroll the NSClipView via scrollToPoint: then update the scrollbars of the NSScrollView with reflectScrolledClipView:.

I'm sure you knew that already

The Googles, they do something.

This might not be the most effective but I use it and it works

[textView scrollRangeToVisible: NSMakeRange ([[textView string] length], 0)];

Thanks. That worked out quite nicely.

I tried that, but I just seemed not to be able to find that particular NSClipView.
