Cannot Get Textbox Automatically Scroll Down
Nov 29, 2009
I have a texbox that I'm using for a P2P IM program. The box stores all messages but I cannot get it to automatically scroll down to the most recent IM when the box is full and scrollbars are necessary. eg. When a user gets enough messages that they must start using the scrollbars, when a new message comes, the scrollbars reset to the top instead of the bottom where the new message is. Here's the code for adding the message into the box:

I have a program that adds text to a textbox. The textbox is multi-line and has a vertical scroll bar. I want to have my textbox to scroll down automatically when new text is added, however, I do not want the other controls on the form to loose focus.I have tried the following code with no success:
Private Sub txtlog_TextChanged()
txtLog.SelectionStart = Len(txtLog.Text)
End Sub
The code above simply produced no results, it didn't move the scroll bar at all.

I am working on a LAN chat and I am having a problem. It's about the textbox that shows the conversation, it doesn't scroll down automatically, you have to do that manually. So is there something could make it scrolls down automatically? Something like showing the end or the bottom of the textbox.

I have a textbox that shows events on a program, which I add. I use the 'scroll bar' option on the textbox to show the vertical scroll bar, but how do I make it stay at the bottom most possible? I am using this code while I am trying to learn how to do what I want the scroll bar to:[code]But how do I get it so the scroll bar will stay at the bottom-most it can? I'd like the newest, most recent events to appear at the bottom of the textbox, and to have the user not have to scroll down every time something new is added.

what im trying to do is using regex i'm pulling information from a webpage, and they are shown on a checklist. I want to be able to check the check on the checklist, press a button and ill be taken to the place the regex text was, or a tag around there.
Something i've also wondered about is if your able to link the regex to a in-software Webbrowser from the tool box, as i'm trying to pull information from a site that requires me to log in, before i can view the certain page. So i just wnat to be able to log in Webbrowser1 and then the regex can read from there.

Heres my problem, My app outputs info into a textbox as a log and appends the new lines to the end of the textbox, is there a way i can scroll the textbox so it displays the end of the text? I had considered writing the line at the top and appending the rest of the data to it but the line is hard to do this way (it uses info from 2 seperate subs and would need a global or a new textbox) and ideally i would like the info at the end in chronological order. the textbox is refreshed at the end of each entry.

1.I want the text to scroll down in the textbox.
Well, if I use AppendText() it does something like this, but if you scroll up, then each time you receive a message you will be scrolled all the way down.
Is there a way to make it scroll all the way down if I am scrolled at the bottom? Meaning, it would check the textbox where its scrolled at, then it would if scrolled to the bottom, and the text and scroll down, otherwise, it would just add the text.
2.Is there a way to make the mouse scroller scroll the textbox? currently it onlt does so when the textbox is the active control on the form, but can I make it always scroll it when the mouse is placed over the control, like it seems to do in MSN when you have a chat open for someone and you are typing a message, you can scroll at the same time without moving focus to the top part where the text is displayed.

I'm currently using a textbox to scroll some info. The problem is it scrolls one line at a time. This creates not a smooth scrolling action ( jumps one line at a time ). I would like a scrolling action like you see in movie credits scrolling smoothly vertically. I don't know if this is even possible with a textbox.

I have a textbox which is inside the second tab of a tab container. When I load the form, I load a file into that textbox. Is there any way to send the scrollbar at the bottom of the text box. I want to show only end part of the file.I have tried this, but it does not work (maybe because is inside a tab container?):
Textbox1.SelectionStart = Textbox1.TextLength
Textbox1.ScrollToCaret()

I have a small problem with my web browser; Here is what I want to do! After my web browser document completes, I want it to scroll down to a specific text box. For example If there is a text box at the end of the page, I want my web browser to scroll down to that text box automatically after the page loads. I managed to do that with this code,
PHP
Webbrowser1.Document.Window.ScrollTo(0, 1900)
The problem with this code, this text box is not always at the same coordinate, sometimes its at the button of the page, sometimes at the middle, or top. Now how can I scroll down to wherever the text box is located. That's all I need to do, and this is the html page code
PHP
<input type="text" id="response" value="" maxlength="10" name="response" size="16">

I want to search the text in my multiline textbox with a vertical scrollbar:
mEvent.Focus()
mEvent.SelectionStart = InStr(mEvent.Text, FindString.Text) - 1
mEvent.SelectionLength = Len(FindString.Text)
This works fine, but if the found text is too far down, I have to manually scroll down to see it. How can I automatically scroll down so that the found text is visible in the text box?

I have a simple Sub:
[code]...
It's job is to scroll the textbox (txt_folderactivity) after I update the text box with a new entry. The textbox is multi-line, so this keeps us at the bottom so we can see the new stuff. This sub gets called whenever any of the other subs add a line for things like file rename, deletion, etc. based on file system events (using Public watchFolder as FileSystemWatcher).I had a crossthread issue with just updating the textbox, but I wrote in a Delegate /Invoke for that and it works fine (something I found online earlier this morning), but now I have another issue and I'm not sure how to work it.
I'm getting a crossthread issue with this specific Sub specifically at the SelectionLength, and I'd like to set it up with a Delegate and Invoke and such, but I don't know how specifically. I've searched and read, but I don't get it. Do I need a seperate invoke on each of the 3 lines, or is there an overarching Invoke for the whole bit I'm still new-ish to VB and I don't know how to proceed. I've read some MSDN pages and stuff, but they aren't explaining what the problems is really and what I need to do (or prehaps I'm just not getting it).

I have a TextBox, The situation is that when a user leaves it empty, OK button is disabled. If user types in a value of duration based on days, the button gets enabled. The problem is: let's say the user clicks on text box, types in : 100, and he realizes that he made a mistake, he erase that value and tries to start filling some other textboxes and come back again afterwards, at this level at the time user clicks on other part of form, the value becomes 0 automatically and Ok button is Enabled Now.
Private Sub txtMembershipDuration_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtMembershipDuration.TextChanged
If txtMembershipDuration.Text = "" Then
btnOK.Enabled = False
End If End Sub
Also, how can I control that automatic 0?
