Some richtextbox questions

[da_silvy]

Few questions re: rtb stuff

(Similar to mIRC textbox)

How can I allow users to make a selection, copy what they select, but not let the rtb get focus?

I'm using rtb.appendtext to add stuff to the text box, then I have to use ScrollToCaret()

I'd prefer not to do that, and I just want to have it scroll right to the end, without actually showing the cursor etc

Basically, I'd like the functionality of the mirc text control thing

Hope someone out there can help me

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        With rtfMircClone
            .SelectionStart = Len(.Text)
            .SelectedText = "I'm some server data :TKCHATACHAT001 613 127.0.0.1 6667" & vbCrLf
            .SelectedText = "i'm the next row of data" & Chr(10) '// same effect as vbcrlf
        End With
    End Sub

    Private Sub rtfMircClone_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles rtfMircClone.MouseUp
        rtfMircClone.SelectionStart = Len(rtfMircClone.Text)
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        rtfMircClone.AppendText("extra text getting appended to end of data" & Chr(10))
    End Sub

you need to set hide selection to FALSE so that the richtextbox scrolls when the text reaches the bottom of the visible area of it.
