Textbox text scrolls outside visible area

[LabTech]

I am reading ASCII data from the comport and displaying it in a textbox. It scrolls and even the most recent response is not visible. How do I correct this?

I am attaching a simple project that writes lines to a textbox and always displays the last line written: it may be helpful for your needs.

An easier solution is to use SetCtrlVal (panel, control, string);  to add lines at the end of the text box. This causes the box to automatically scroll to display the last line.

Right and simpler , but don't forget in this case to terminate the string with a "\n" to separate lines, otherwise the text will be added on the same line.
