Following rich box

Taylor Wass

Hi I am making a chat program. When wsk_receiver gets data, it adds it to a new line on rich_history to make a sort of history for the chat. However, when the rich box is filled up even with scroll bars, it doesn't keep following what was last added. How can i make it scroll down when text is added?

Thank you.

Just from memory, I think it may be a matter of setting SelStart to the end of the text.

RichText1.SelStart = Len(RichText1.Text)

Yeah, sorry, I was short on time so just posted a quick hint. albertw's response shows exactly what I meant.
