I want to scroll inside the text field

I can’t check the checkbox unless I scroll the contents of the text field to the end, but I don’t know how to scroll inside the text field. Could someone please give me some advice?
Thank you.

You can try to use the “scrollToElement()” options as @atul.rai suggests and you may even try WebUI.scrollToPosition(100, 99999) to see if that works too.

What I was thinking though is to create a StringBuilder that contains lots (AND LOTS) of line feeds that you set in the text field and see if that does anything.

StringBuilder strB = new StringBuilder()
for (int cnt = 0; cnt < 100; cnt++) {
    strB = strB.append("\n")
}
strB.append("MagicText")
WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject(...), strB.toString())

Another idea would be to try WebUI.clickOffset(findTestObject(...), XPos, YPos) but this one would need a fair bit of study of your element’s size, etc. and some math.

Edit: There was an OP in this forum that used scrollToElement to scroll in a drop-down list to find a specific reference in the list. You might be able to use the StringBuilder to create a chain with a specific text at or near the end and then scrollToElement to that text. You would need to create a parameterized Object in either code or the OR and replace your parameter with the text you want to scroll to, such as “MagicText”.

WebUI.scrollToElement(findTestObject('...',  [('my text'): "MagicText"]), 2)

Edit2: I made the assumption that your text field was empty. If it is not, then perhaps just search for a text string. or phrase, that is near the last of the characters within the text field and go with the concept of the scrollToElement.
