TextBox Scroll to Bottom

[Peyton Collins]

I have a TextBox that shows a bunch of messages coming in from a bunch of
different threads. All the messages appear at the bottom of the textbox, and
the user cannot see them unless they scroll down to the bottom with the
scroll bar.

Factory floor guys with big gloves don't like scroll bars!

Any way to make the textbox to show the bottom most text, letting the old
test scroll off the top? As these are asynchronous messages and the Textbox
doesn't have focus, I can't do something active to scroll the box, it must
happen automatically.

Thanks!

How about using a ListBox instead and set the SelectedIndex to the Index of
the message you have just added?

Or what about adding the new text to the top of the text box and shifting
the other text down?

Assuming you are synchronising access to the TextBox so "the bunch of
different threads" end up calling Invoke... So in the common method that
appends text to your textbox try the following code (you might want to lock
access to MyStringVariable)...

txtMyBox.SelectionStart = txtMyBox.Text.Length;
txtMyBox.SelectedText = MyStringVariable;
txtMyBox.ScrollToCaret();

Now, THAT's a good idea!
