Textbox Question [Resolved]

[Hinder]

I remember in VB6 when you added a new line to a multiline text box, the line would be added to the botton of all the text. Then if you wanted to have the last text entered displayed, you would do SelStart = Len(Text) and this would cause the scrollbar to be pulled all the way to the bottom of the textbox so you could see the last text added.. I can't get this to work in VB.Net.. Can anyone tell me how to do this? When I do something like this:

txtOutput.SelectionStart = txtOutput.TextLength

The scroll bar bounces back to the top most position after ever entry.. How do I make is so I can see the bottom portion of the test after an entry has been added?

set HideSelection to False " txtOutput.HideSelection = False "

Hi.

You almost got it right. Problem is your code only set's the caret position. After that you need to execute the ScrollToCaret method.

That should to do it.

txtOutput.SelectionStart = txtOutput.TextLength
txtOutput.ScrollToCaret()
