> is there someway to have this auto scroll
I don't know what you mean... But, there's no "auto"-anything. You need to program it to do what you want it to do. > is there a way to show individual lines of text in different colours The short answer is no. The long answer is, if you read through the help on listboxes, look through the Properties window, and experiment in code, you'll very quickly go through everything you can do with a listbox (not much) - and controling the color of each line is not one of those things. (ie, This is the type of question that you can answer on your own much quicker than by asking here.) - taubz

Shut up, vladmir. That post, like many of your others, wasn't at all helpful. - taubz

Suppose you are right that makes programming look pointless , it has boundaries , just more prooof of how mauch the natual world around us is superior.

luaghs hystericaly at Taubz post... has anyone tried finding any help from msdn libs and on the whole(meaning every time) been successful. let me remind you ,if we are asking for help then we have probably checkd and rechecked probably all available resources, including my foolish teacher,sigh
If were not supposed to put questions here that someone may help with then what is the purpose of this conference. P.S. STILL, can anyone answer my post above.

Not with VB, if you want to do this do not use VB.

VB is is limited , but thats how the world is , it has its qalities PS what does autoscroll mean , could you just delete the top line of your picture , and keep delting it , and it would "sort of" autoscroll down.
Sorry .. I hope that was helpful...

Set the selstart to the last position if you want to make sure the cursor is at the end.
But, I did answer your question the first time. There is no auto scrolling feature. - taubz
