RichTextBox Curser

[randtf]

I am working on a computer simulator which when the application starts it simulates the boot of process of a device. Using a richtextbox I am able to display the bootup process, using a timer.

But....What I need to be able to do is to get the curser to be displayed at the end (Scrolling down) and accept an input from the keyboard.


For example the last line that I have is..

RixhTextBox1.Text = "Login"

I can not figure out how to get the RichTextBox to scroll to the last line, via code, place a curser after the text "Login" and then accept an input from the keyboard

Thanks for any help, I would be willing to go about this anotherway if necessary.

you need to make sure the richtextbox's HideSelection property is set to " False " , then ...

richtextbox.SelectionStart = richtextbox.textLength

I must be missing something here.

I set the HideSelection property to False then used the following code:

RichTextBox1.Text = "Test" & Chr(10) & "Test1:"

RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = RichTextBox1.TextLength

The result is:

Test
Test1

What I am trying to get is a result of:

Test
Test1 _ (With a blinking cursor at the end and the ability to accept a keyboard input)

Thanks

I engaged my brain

Forget to add the following line at the end:

Richtextbox1.focus()


Thanks for your help
