Problem with texbox - keep jumping to the top

[GrenadeFX]

ok im fearly new to vb.net i used to use vb6

ok here is my problem :

in vb6 if you want you textbox to scoll down for you, you just put:

 

txtOutput.Sel = Len(txtOutput.text)

 

but how do i do it in vb.net? i tried this:

 

txtOutput.selectionStart = Len(txtOutput.text.length) ' I also tried Len(txtOutput.text)

 

so this is my problem

 

oh yeh and my textbox keep going to the top of teh box when any text is entered

 

Please help i relly need it for my irc client

PS (last one, i promise) how can i populate a userlist box for an irc channel?

 

 

thanx i really need to know how to fix up that damn textbox

If you'd look throu the functions that the text box exposes you'd see a function called ScrollToCaret(). Looks promising.

Use this,

 

[CS]

textbox.SelectionStart = textbox.Text.Length;

textbox.ScrollToCaret();

[/CS]
