Forget about default textbox restrictions, you can create sprites atop of the textbox

Hi everyone,

Is there a way I can have a Text Box object and scroll it to the end?

I am working on a chat box and I want the user to always view the latest comment inserted. When I do receive new content, I append it to the text box but I want to immediately scroll it down.

Thank you,

IronRick

Suggetion:

If you turn it around you wont have to scroll :)

ie

textbox set text = newtext & newline & textbox.text

:)

new sentences will be always on top :)

Agree with lennaert, have new messages insert at top. So to view last comment you have to scroll down.

I'm using this for board game info box of last player, dice thrown, cards drawn etc all the way to start of game.

Works wonderfully
