View 7 RepliesI 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.

Is there some easy line of code I can do to format it? I know how to do it the .ToString("C") way, but that doesn't work in my case, because they are text boxes and don't have any declared variables for the numbers that are inputted inside of them.

View 7 RepliesI am building an application with a multi tabbed UI. On the form, I have a textbox above, a tabstrip below the textbox and a button for creating new tabs. I am having problems trying to make the textbox accept and procees input for the various tabs I've created, what I want is a senario whereby, the textbox input for Tab1 varies from Tab2 and so on... Just like the way a tabbed browser operates. Let me give some sought of illustration:
""" I create a new tab named tab1, then in the textbox above I enter "Michael", then when I create a second tab, the textbox entry for Tab1 is cleared, then i enter "Jackson" into the textbox. When I go back to Tab1, the textbox entry for tab1 changes back to what I entered earlier which was "Michael". If I then decided to go back to Tab2 the textbox entry should change to what i entered for Tab2 which was "Jackson". """
In essence what I am saying is the textbox should store and restore its state, whether text was entered or not, for each and every Tab that is created.

View 1 RepliesHeres 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.
View 2 RepliesI 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:

All I want to be able to do is push a button a to load a resources text file into a textbox , I have managed to do this after hours and hours of googling , videos, but it's quite a long document and I was wondering if I can have a scroll bar so it doesn't end half way through the text?
View 3 RepliesI 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.

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 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 am wondering how to style text like in Notepad++ when you have certain operands and it changes their color.

View 1 RepliesI 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 web control in which I have a multiple line text box. I'm updating the contents of the text box using a timer_tick event. I want to display the last line of the text box every time the timer_tick event is fired.
View 1 RepliesI have two issues. The first is that I want to make a textbox scrolling similar to how credits scroll. I don't want it to move on the form, just to scrolling the text down a line/pixel. I thought I could do it with the "Lines" element, but I'm not exactly sure how to execute it.
The other problem is with my flash screen. Right now I have it set so when a button is click, it goes onto the main form. I don't want to use the button but rather have it so if Enter is pressed at any time, it'll go to the main form. All the solutions I've tried to use involve the "e.Keycode" code, but for some reason its unavailable.
how i can change the native scrollbar style in my application to my custom style. I can adopt a custom scrollbar to attain this purpose but this will not serve my purpose because i want this attribute in entire application. Like it the text in textbox gets longer than its bounds than the scrollbar appers are my custom bar not the formal ones
