Hi All,

In the Form_Load event, I'm running the following code after populating a
TextBox from a file. The TextBox's MultiLine property is enabled and I have
a vertical scrollbar on this control. This code DOES work if outside of the
Form_Load event if when it's executed "after" the form is loaded.

My question is this: Is there a Form event I can use or am I missing
something regarding an event in the the control itself I should use? Here's
the code:

' Set the cursor to the end of the textbox.
txtScroll.SelectionStart = txtScroll.TextLength
txtScroll.ScrollToCaret() ' Scroll down to the cursor position.

Thanks in advance for your help -- it is greatly appreciated!
Kind regards - Fred

Did you already try to place the 'ScrollToCaret' call in the form's
'Shown' event?

In addition, take a look at this alternative method:

Scrolling the textbox control to top or bottom

Hi Herfried,

I thought I completely exhausted the list of form event handlers but somehow
overlooked "Form.Shown!" Thanks for pointing this one out to me - it worked
perfectly!

Kind regards - Fred
