CJ,

Be aware that there was a bug in the multiline textbox and that the ammount
of data that a textbox can hold (was)is very limmited. I don't know if that
bug is fixed.

No danger of that.

Another point.

You must be mindful of how much text you are appending over the course of
a program run.

If you keep appending text ad infintum then sooner or later it will blow
up because the resource limit will be reached. There is no specific
number for this.

If there is a danger of this then you need to have a method for cleaning
some of the older stuff out to make way for the new stuff.

cj,

Try adding the text using the textbox's AppendText method.

I use multi-line text boxes with vertical scroll bars in several of my
programs to display log information as the programs run. Once the
text more than fills the visible portion of the textbox I would like
the text box to show the bottom of the text in it. Right now even if
I scroll down in the text box to see what's the latest activity when
new text is added the textbox resets itself to show only the top text
and I have to scroll down again. Can I fix it so as text is added it
continues to display the last, bottom most, text?
