Is there a way to automatically scroll to the bottom of a multiline textbox with a scrollbar in CF 1.0?
I would like to generate the equivalent of "scrolling output" in my CF 1.0 application, and I am using a multiline textbox to hold the text that I would like to scroll as I add more text to it.
Thanks,
Mark Rejhon

I have added the related changes needed (learned some new things at that web address), although I am sticking to the ScrollToCaret method for now for simplicity.
If the flicker becomes annoying, I'll use the more arcane SendMessage method suggested.
It is my understanding .NET CF typically avoids the need to call normal Win32 API's, so falling back to that as a workaround seemed kind of arcane, as I had never needed to call Win32 from a .NET CF -- that's what I meant by arcane. SendMessage is a very useful thing though, but it kinda seemed non-native ".NET CF" stuff... Glad that the option is there though, when it becomes an essential workaround.
In any event, it works so I am happy!
The whole .NET CF is built on a top (wraps) Win32 API's. If you still think SendMessage is "non-native" to CF then there's managed MessageWindow.SendMessage that'll do the same.
