Hey everyone,

I’ve been doing a ton of searching and haven’t found anything. I have a dynamic textfield that will update with a new line of text every 5 seconds. Once it appends the 8th line, it reaches the bottom of the textfield. The 9th line of text (and so on) aren’t visible. What can I do to have the textfield “push/scroll” up automatically so that the most recent line is visible at the bottom.

Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it!

Tony
