Change Scroll Bar Position and a Couple Other Things

[Klogg]

I have a few questions.

 

How can I make the scroll bar on a text box scroll down to the bottom?

 

How can I make the text start out at the bottom of a text box instead of the top and have the first text move upward as more lines of text are put in?

 

Is it possible to change the color of a read-only text box?

 

By the way, I'm coding in VB.

To scroll to bottom:

TextBox1.SelectionStart = TextBox1.Text.Length
TextBox1.ScrollToCaret()

 

To make text start from the bottom you'll need to write your own buffer control from scratch, because the textbox doesn't support it. If it's not required, I wouldn't bother, as it's a lot of work.

 

To change the color of a readonly textbox, change the BackColor and ForeColor properties accordingly.

Okay, thanks. I've got it now. I guess you have to change the color and then change it back for the text box to be white instead of gray. I think I'll skip the starting at the bottom thing, since I didn't want it really bad anyway. Thanks for your quick reply!
