How can I get and set the scrollbar position of a textbox?
As the title says, I am wondering about how to get and set scrollbar positions of a rich textbox control.
I have created an ini programmer, which colors specific codelines.
The whole content of the textbox is refreshed upon repainting, and the selstart is set to what it was before the painting procedure started, but the file is not scrolled down to exactly where it was. It simply use the selstart as the bottom line.
Does anyone know a method to get and set textbox scrollbar positions?

Your solution was good and easy to understand, but the text in the textwindow doesn't scroll when the scrollbar is updated.
If you click on the scrollbar however, the text is "updated", but this is not the meaning.
Does anyone have any solutions to this?

Sorry, but I'm afraid that "anyone" means "msa2003" in this topic area).
You might use the following construction to set the text box position instead of only scroll bar position:
SendMessage(RichEdit1.hWnd
constant values:
WM_VSCROLL = 277
SB_THUMBPOSITION = 4
use WM_VSCROLL to scroll vertically and WM_HSCROLL (276) to scroll horisontally.
SendMessage() is an API function (needed to use API Text Viewer) which is used to send a message to the controll (window). The construction prior sends the text box message to scroll to absolute position defined by Pos variable. The Pos value might be retrieved by GetScrollPos function. If you use the prior construction you do not need to use SetScrollPos function.
Sorry, I am not a VB programmer.
