How to add text to a text box other than text1.text=text1.text+

Is there a better way to add text to a text box, other than
saying:

text1.text=text1.text + "whatever new text"

I am logging RS232 info coming in, and don't like the
delay I'm seeing from re-writing the entire text box.

I figure there must be a more elegant way of just appending
a new line of text to the bottom of the text box.

Thank you.

Try storing all the text to a string variable, and when you know the function is done adding text, you can have Text1 equal the variable.

Call the following function,
NOTE: Inbuff is the data you want to add to Text1



Sub HandleInput(inbuff As String)

Text1.SelStart = Len(Text1.Text)

Text1.SelText = inbuff

End Sub

You can put in your strings with sendkey into the textbox.
