The ScrollToCaret() method only works if the control has focus. It also makes text-selection difficult….

So sending a WM_VSCROLL message will often be a better solution.

Nah,
I prefer the above although do the whole call in one void

private void writeToStatusWindow(string textToBeWritten)
{
rchTxtBxSTATUS.AppendText(textToBeWritten);
rchTxtBxSTATUS.SelectionStart = rchTxtBxSTATUS.Text.Length;
rchTxtBxSTATUS.ScrollToCaret();
}

just set the max length of your rich text box if youre running tests for days or months or you will blow your memory

This is a quick and dirty solution to the autoscroll problem. A more elegant solution is outlined in this post.
