Scroll to bottom of textbox

[Rob T]

I have a multiline textbox that shows a log. When I keep adding items to
the textbox, I would like it to autoscroll to the bottom. I thought moving
the cursor to the end would do it like (ie.
boxHistory.SelectionStart=999999), which does move the cursor, but doesn't
scroll.

How would I do this? Thanks.

Found it: boxHistory.ScrollToCaret() ;-)

Set SelectionStart to the length of the textbox. Then call the
ScrollToCaret() method.

For RichTextBoxes you will have to set the focus to the control (by
calling its 'Focus' method) before calling this method.
