Winsock chat textbox prob.

[Goaty]

Hey again,

Couple things I am having probs with and I think I can probably find out a couple on my own but I can't find a solution to this prob.

When My text box fills up, the scroll bar doesnt automatically move with the new incoming text. How do I get it to show the most recent incoming text?

Thanks.

Something like

Text1.SelStart = Len(Text1.Text)

Where the cursor will be moved to the last position of the text thereby moving the scrollbar so the last item becomes viewable.

That is the built in, default, behavior of a standard textbox.

I addition to what dee-u posted, you also might want to add

Text1.SelStart = Len(Text1.Text)
Text1.SelText = newString

You can also load lines into a Textbox in reverse order so that the last line entered is at the beginning of the textbox instead of at the bottom. This way the verticle scrollbar always remains at the top. The choise is yours.
