[RESOLVED] Key ascii trouble and text1.text

[macbrutal]

Hi i'm using a Text1.text with following settings:

1. Multiline
2. Scrollbars, both

And i got key ascii = 13, which enter the text i gave in text2.text.
When i type in all my text until my Text1.text got scrollbars, everytime a new text appears in the text1.text it goes to the top so i have to scroll down to show my new message, any ideas?

And two,
Key ascii buttons works but sometimes it gets like this

User:
Text

And sometimes (Right way) :

User: Text

I don't have that prob.
Does it happen when you type or are you send the ascii = 13 (vbCr) by code?

After putting something in the textbox, do Text1.SelStart = Len(Text1.Text). it will move the cursor to the bottom, essentially scrolling it to the bottom.

For the other problem I'm going to make a guess here and say you're making a chat program. If so, depending on how you handle the data, you may be receiving a vbCrLf after "User:" or you may be sticking one in there. Just do some checks on your code and see where it pops in.

If you're sending text from one box to the other and you want the new text added to the bottom then you need to set the SelStart property of the receiving textbox.

danecook21, SelStart worked exellent, yes i think i have a vbcrlf after the coding, but strange that it works the first 1-2 times then it pops under the text, and your guess was right.. Yes I'm making a chat program.

Glad to help. Yes it is strange. If you want we would be happy to take a look at the code if you want to post it or attach the project. Otherwise, just do some tests in your code and I'm sure you'll find why it's happening.
