Force scroll down in a text box 1

[crrrazydan]

I am using the following code to update a textbox that has a vertical scroll bar:

text1.text = text1.text & newinfo & vbNewLine

The problem is whenever the textbox is updated, it scrolls all the way up, making you have to scroll down to see what was just put into the text box. So, is there a way to make it scroll down with the text1.changed event, or a better way to write the above code so it won't scroll up? By the way, I don't want to use SendKeys because it has to work even the textbox and form are out of focus.

Set the SelStart property of the text box to Len(txtTheBox.Text). That puts the insertion point at the end of the text. If I'm not mistaken, the box will automatically scroll to make the insertion point visible. Rick Sprague
