TextBox how to prevent scrolling when I append text

I am trying to figure out how to prevent scrolling when I append text.
It scrolls to the bottom whenever I use AppendText.
It jumps to the top whenever I += text to the Text property.

before you append store current cursor position in a variable and after appending
to the textbox, set its selectionstart index using that variable.

Hello all: What is wrong with my code? I want it to update the new text on the textbox on every iteration of my loop. But instead the textbox updates all info at the end of the loop. I also have to scroll down to see the last entries. Once I get it to work the way I want is there a property that will always keep that last entry visible? I mean, scroll down as new data is displayed. Here is mi code

I want to append text to the end of a text box. If the cursor is currently at the end I just want to append it and have the normal scrolling take place if needed. However, if the selection isn't at the end of the text box I want to append the text but WITHOUT changing the selection or scrolling the text. I can easily tell if the selection is at the end or not. However, I haven't found away to prevent the scrolling when I AppendText.

Curently I manualy code keypress edits. i.e. allow only 3 digits before decimal and two digits after decimal in .NET. Is there an easy solution to mask text boxes? The MSMASK32.OCX from vb6 does not seem to be appropriate for a desktop application with textboxes not bound to a dataset, am I wrong? -- How time fly's when you don't know what you are doing!

VB 2005 Express. I have a readonly multiline textbox with a vertical scrollbar. I'm programatically adding text to it with textbox1.appendtext(mytext) and it scrolls automatically. However, I only want automatic scrolling when the thumb control is at the bottom position. If the user scrolls up, I want it to hold its position as more text is appended. So basically I need to know: 1. How to detect if the scrollbar is at bottom position

Hey guys, I have two questions regarding the vertical srollbar of a multiline textbox. 1. I have an "Ok" button that is initially disabled.

How can I monitor the scrollbar and know when it has reached the end? 2. My multiline textbox has VerticalScrollBar...

Overview: 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,...
