Question about Focus and selectionstart

hey everyone,

Private Sub rtbreceive_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles rtbOntvangen.TextChanged
rtbreceive.SelectionStart = rtbreceive.TextLength
rtbreceive.ScrollToCaret()
rtbreceive.Focus()
End Sub

rtbreceive = a richtextbox

Would someone give some explanation what a .Focus and .Selectionstart do?:)

You could just look them up in the documentation?

Anyway... Off the top of my head, SelectionStart gets or sets the cursor position (in character numbers), and Focus is a VB6 left-over that sets the focus to the control. I believe you should now use either control.Select, or Me.ActiveControl = control.

Thx i get it know :D

.Focus is not something to use normally, as you probably read. Use .Select instead.
