my answer was an uninformed one, I agree! :)
I like this approach much better!

Harald.Piske> Actually, Morbus' approach is the better choice, if you don't
mind my saying

happens is that
Harald.Piske> the whole field gets refilled and redrawn, using a lot of
resources for
Harald.Piske> nothing. With a couple of hundred lines this may cause annoying
flicker,
Harald.Piske> plus it shifts the scroll bar back to the top. Selecting
"nothing" past the
Harald.Piske> end of the contents and replacing the selection is the way to "go
by the

Harald.Piske> With a scrollable textfield this would also have the nice
side-effect of
Harald.Piske> scrolling the new line into view. This does not work for richedit
fields as

work-around.
Harald.Piske> Bottom line, if you don't need text formatting, use a standard
multiline
Harald.Piske> textfield instead of a richedit, it makes life easier.
