I have a multiline text box that is about 20 lines longs. I have a timer that writes a message to it ever minute. What I want is to have the last line of the text box always displayed. Right now, you have to scroll down to get to see what was last updated. How do I do it autmomatically with my code?

I had to figure this out a long time ago, and finally found a solution:
myTextBox.Selec tionStart = myTextBox.Text. Length;
myTextBox.Scrol lToCaret();
(I acutally put this in the TextChanged event of the textbox, so I never
have to worry about it)

I haven't tested this, but I believe if you set the SelectionStart (or call
the Select() method) to the point where you want it to scroll and then call
the ScrollToCaret() method, that should do it.

Beware though, this will only work if the text box has focus.
The other fool-proof way is to use Win32 interop to send message with
WM_VSCROLL set to SB_BOTTOM.

Is there any way, upon scanning in a file line by line to avoid
missing the last line if there is not a newline character (aka you
have to hit return on the last line of input in your file). I was
sure that there was a way around it but it escapes me if there is one.
Thanks

I have a RichTextBox called rtbOutput.
I am adding lines of text using the AppendText method. What I want to do is
immediately after adding this line of text make sure that this line of text
is displayed, effictively scrolling to the last line of the text box all the
time.
Can anyone help as I cannot seem to find a way to do this.
Thanks

Hi:
I want to check my text file to ensure the last line has only DONE on it,
prior to loading the file.
How can I do this with a StreamReader object to go to the last line so I can
perform the string comparison?

Hello, I'm writing a simple program that upon start-up needs to open a
text file and read a value on the last line. Then all other accesses to
the file will be writes (at the end of it). I'm having two problems
with this...I tried opening the file for both writing and reading with:
std::fstream file("budget.txt", std::ios_base::in | std::ios_base::out
| std::ios_base::app);
if(!file)
std::cerr << "Error opening file!" << std::endl;

Hello-
I am trying to write a snippet which will open a text file with an
integer on each line. I would like to read the last integer in the
file. I am currently using:
file = fopen("f.txt", "r+");
fseek(file, -2, SEEK_END);
fscanf(file, "%d", &c);
this works fine if the integer is only a single character. When I get
into larger numbers though (e.g. 502) it only reads in the 2. Is there

What I want to do is delete the last line in a RichTextBox.
The RichTextBox has a ReadOnly property called lines that seems like it
might help but I cant figure out how to use it.
Well, the question is what is the easiest way to remove the last line in a
RichTextBox?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
