Most chat clients dont write from the bottom up.

They write from the top down but when it is full they start to scroll. Is this a web or windows forms app?

i guess i meant that. but i need help on making it auto scroll. because when it fills regularly, the new text is put below the old text which is out of display.
this is a windows form

Its been a while since i used the rtb and did anything like it. From memory though i think i had to select the last character and then unselect it without the rtb painting. I will look and see if i can get back to you with something more definite

ive seen people saying to select the last char then unselect it, but when there gets to be a lot of text it gives a flicker effect which i wanted to avoid.
But maybe it wont be visable if its done before its painted, but i dont think paint is called anything the text changes does it?
i guess i could always just create my own textbox control which does this.

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  
  2.         RichTextBox1.AppendText(newText)
  3.         RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = Len(RichTextBox1.Text)
  4.         RichTextBox1.ScrollToCaret()
  5.         RichTextBox1.Select()


i dont understand why ms couldnt make is simple and include it in the IDE

You can use RichTextBox which is very powerful and professional.
