    Scrolling Text Boxes

    I have a problem with text boxes that I can't seem to rectify by means of documentation, I cannot figure out how to make them scroll. The particular instance I need to make them scroll in is when new text is added and I wish the box to be set to the _bottom_ of the text not the top (such as for logging and IM windows).

    Thanks a lot, ~SPH

    EDIT: Knowing this for list boxes would also be great!

    Use EM_SETSEL to place the cursor where you want (like at the end).
    Use EM_SCROLLCARET to scroll the caret into view.

    Read about list boxes and their supporting messages here.
