Question on RichTextBox

[Reddytedy]

I am making a telnet client which uses the rtf box to get the text from the server.

What I need to know is how to make it scroll down as new text is sent in..as it is now everytime new text is sent to me it defaults to the top of the scrollback buffer.

How can I make it default to the bottom of the scrollback buffer so I can read what is coming in?

Thanks again, prolly something I am just overlooking.

If Len(rtbmain.Text) = 0 Then
rtbmain.text = rtbmain.text & buffer & vbCrLf
Else
With rtbmain
.SelStart = Len(rtbmain.Text)
.SelLength = 1
.SelText = .SelText & str & vbCrLf
End With
End If
rtbmain.SelStart = Len(rtbmain.Text)

That works fine for me!

Yeah thanks for that..I figured it out the other day while going through some real old posts...now all I need to figure out is how to strip a couple of ansi codes out of the RichTextBox and color the text in between...any ideas?

Trust me, there is no information on the web on how to do it with a rich text box. I've been working on it for over 2 years now, but finally getting some progress now. You just have to find a way to find the escape, the [, the code and the m and go from there, it's hard as heck and I have never found a resource on it.

Good Luck

Got any tips on what functions and whatnot to look into to do that?

Feel free to IM me or whatever..I am fairly new to the VB programming area.
