[.NET] RichTextBox bottom to top

[todd]

Is there a way to get the RichTextBox control to add text starting at the bottom and have it scroll up as more text is added? Similar to the way many IRC clients display text?

No, there isn't. You'd have to make your own control for that, or fiddle with the RTF's text every time something is entered (which would probably be harder).

I have faced these problem, and there is nothing to do, but if you are making a chating windows, you can use a page by page ( this engine is easy and cool ) when the the RTF reach a specific line you may clear the textbox and make a SAVE Code for the previous page and so on ...

The only thing I can think of is a Javascript function that is called when text is entered. The function counts the number of line breaks, and then adds the number of needed line breaks to the beginning of the textbox's text... hmm...

Well, from the screen shot, in the right hand side there is a scrollbar, that means that when the second line of text appeard, it pushed a line of text off the screen, that must mean that the mirc developer is adding a certain amount of whitespace to the textbox before it is displayed, but he's not removing it.

I thought about adding carriage returns to push text to the bottom line, but when the user goes to select all, or copy and paste, they will see that there are "fake" lines on top.. in mIRC, you can only highlight the text that's there.. is it possible to rewrite the highlighting routines so you cant highlight the "fake" lines?

I think mirc uses its own custom-made control for that, as its definatly not a richedit control. :)
