    Controlling Textbox Scrollbars with a text find operation

    Hi

    I have a teeny problem that I cannot solve.

    I load HTML Source into a textbox and have a "find' button that
    searches through the text using the Instr Function, and highlights the
    result using the Selectionlength and Selectionstart properties.

    This is working perfectly, however if the source does not fit in the
    textbox, I sometimes have to manually scroll down to see the
    highlighted selection.

    It there a way to make the textbox automatically scroll down to make
    the highlighted selection visible?

    I'm using VB.net on Visual Studio 2005


    thanks for the help :D

      I would like to welcome you to the .NET jungle.

      I find Google and news groups to be the best. You are in the right place.

      You need several books, none are or can be complete and perfect.
      I got 10s of books already and not enough. you might need 10s every 6
      months.

      do not get discouraged by this just start and never quit.

              Nevermind. I figured it out...

              the Method I was looking for was ScrollToCaret.
