# ctrlSetAutoScrollSpeed

*Command · GUI Control · Arma 3 v0.50 · introduced in Arma 2 v1.00*

## Description

Sets number of second required to scroll to next line. If speed < 0, auto-scroll is disabled. Setter for [ctrlAutoScrollSpeed](../commands/ctrlAutoScrollSpeed.md).

Autorscroll is available for CT_LISTBOX and CT_CONTROLS_GROUP types of controls only. Autoscroll will wait [ctrlAutoScrollDelay](../commands/ctrlAutoScrollDelay.md) seconds (must be  > 0) and then will scroll the scroll bar down to the bottom. [ctrlAutoScrollSpeed](../commands/ctrlAutoScrollSpeed.md) defines the speed with which scrollbar is scrolled. If [ctrlAutoScrollRewind](../commands/ctrlAutoScrollRewind.md) is [true](../commands/true.md), the control will fade out, immediately rewind to the top, then fade in, wait [ctrlAutoScrollDelay](../commands/ctrlAutoScrollDelay.md) seconds and then repeat the scrolling in a loop. If user focuses on the control, autoscrolling is interrupted.
