Hi, Perl monks, This is the first time I've been here and I'm new to the rules here. Well, I'm asking a question I've already asked at stackoverflow.com. I'm not sure if this is okay and I don't want any duplicate efforts. But my question hasn't been answered there so I'm here anyway. The situation is this: I'm outputting something to the textfield I created using Win32::GUI, like this: 
$Object->AddTextfield(
        -name   => "Birthchart",
        -left   => 75,
        -top    => 90,
        -width  => 250,
        -height => 250,
        -vscroll =>1,
        -multiline => 1,
        -prompt => "Birthchart",         
    );


    {#do something here....
     }
$Object->Birthchart->Append($Content);

The problem is: it automatically takes me to the end of the output but I want to read the output from the beginning without having to scroll up. It's okay to scroll down later.

I can use the following code $Object->Birthchart->GetFirstVisibleLine(); to obtain the number of the uppermost visible line, but how can I set the number of the uppermost visible line to 0? or just reset the scrollbar to the top position?

The code $Object->Birthchart->ResetFirstVisibleLine(); doesn't work. And I also tried the following code $Object->Birthchart->ScrollPos(1,0); Still doesn't work. The scrollbar seems to be reset but I still have to click on the scrollbar to view the beginning of the textfield content.

Any ideas / suggestions? Thanks in advance.
