Display text

[Troy Wilson]

Is there an existing control for Visual Basic that allows
me to display text in that control, but also lets me append
text to it. The application I have in mind for this
control is something like a status page that updates with
new information without wiping out the previous info.
Thank you.

Just use a text box, and add to the text instead of just setting the text.

ie, do
textbox1.text += foo
instead of
textbox1.text = foo

For example a textbox. You can call its 'AppendText' method to append
text.

In VB.NET, I prefer using the '&=' operator when working with strings.
