I have a Windows forms application that is reading messages off off a queue,
and I want to stream them into a window to view. Currently I am using a
textbox classes/methods of textbox.Append(...) and textbox.ScrollToCaret()...

It seems that there is limit to the number of characters you can write to a
textbox...

I would appreciate any recommendations on the best contol/technique to used
to stream input into a form and to automatically advance the scrollbar as
input arrives. I want to capture several thousand lines before I cleanup...

thanks
 
1. use a richtextbox vice a textbox for bulk text output.
2. to scroll to the bottom of text, set the rtb's SelectionStart =
Text.Length
