RichTextBox, ScrollToCarret, No Focus?

Hello,

I have a multithreaded windows app that has a RichTextBox acting as an
output console for the worker threads. I need a way of scrolling down to the
bottom of the RichTextBox as text is added without stealing the focus from
my other controls.

RichTextBox.Foc us()
RichTextBox.Scr ollToCarret()

This does not work for me since I have an axWebBrowser control and I cannot
restore the focus to it's child controls, i.e. it's text boxes.

Does anyone have a way of scrolling the RichTextBox without stealing the
focus?

Thanks,
Jean Lord

I have a thread adding lines of text to a richtextbox on my windows form about every 1 second. I want the last line of text to always be visible, which it is until the box gets filled up. The last line is always visible if the cursor is on the richtextbox, But if I'm working on another richtextbox on the form, the one that is continually getting text doesn't scroll down automatically. Is there any way to get it to automatically show the...

I searched high and low for an answer on how to auto scroll a richtextbox and now I finally have it. Since it took me a while to get a good efficient way of doing it that didn't require focus to the control or the scrolltocaret method I decided that it would be worth posting to anyone who might have similar concerns. For the record this works well in an environment where you cannot have focus going to the richtextbox....such as a chat...

When you give focus to a RichTextBox, then it goes to the textCursor, but i don't want to give the richtextbox focus, cause there is being written a lot in it, and I have to do something else at the same time, then if I don't give it focus, and I add some text to it, then it don't automaticly scrolls down to the textcursor, is there a way to make the RichTextBox scroll down to the textcursor, without giving it focus??

Hi, When a RichTextBox control doesn't have focus, it DOES NOT scroll to the last line that is added; however, if it does have focus, it WILL scroll to the last line added. I want to stop and start this behavior at will. When I stop the behavior, this will give users a chance to examine the text that is at the top of the document while new text is being added at the bottom. I have tried inheriting from the RichTextBox control and...

I have created a Control that extends RichTextBox to do syntax-hilighting. My strategy is to have a timer that restarts every time a user types a key so that it can wait until the user pauses for at least 500 milliseconds, then perform its work. The hilighting simply goes through a list of keywords, finding each instance in the RichTextBox, and selecting it in order to change its color. I figured out how to remember where the cursor is and...
