;D Is it possible to obtain the same graphical effects that RTB provides using a diffrent type of control for less lag?

Less Lag? As far as I know there is no replacement for the richtextbox allowing colors although I am sure one could be made.

If you havn't noticed the AIM client is browser based which is why all of its data is in HTML form. It doesn't use an RTB (The official AIM Client)

Although using the MSHTML editor control will result in using lots and lots of memory.  I believe that AIM uses a proprietary user interface to display HTML.

Yeah, there was.  We haven't really gotten started on it.  It's a bit involved ;-)  But it would be specifically for chat.

So would it have the current draw backs if you want to call them that of the RTB (resizing text with scroll mouse, justification of text, RTF Glitch, etc..)

i was looking around and i found this dos console looking thing... i wrote some modules that let you use it like addchat ill post them when i get home... if your writing an ops bot this surely must be a better alternative to rtb...

You won't find many better alternatives to Microsoft's RichTextBox.  The console is quite icky when used in Visual Basic and if you're that serious about having less "lag", I'd suggest learning a language more focused on speed.

i agree the console is icky but for what im trying todo visualbasic is the better language :)

I don't have issues. Perhaps you should show code, or look into clearing the top old unwanted lines after X amount of outputted messages automatically
