WebBrowserControl Scroll to Bottom

Challenge

I am working on a simple chat application using a System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser Control to display the messages between the user and the recipient. How do I get the control to automatically scroll to the bottom every time I update the DocumentText of the control?

Solution

I tried to Google it and found below stuff which doesn’t work as expected.

ctlWebBrowser.Document.Body.ScrollIntoView(false);

// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/990651/system-windows-forms-webbrowser-scroll-to-end

webCtrl.Document.Window.ScrollTo(0, int.MaxValue);

// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/46454/webbrowsercontrol-scroll-to-bottom
Finally, I did it using following way:

private void ScrollMessageIntoView()
 {
 // MOST IMP : processes all windows messages queue
 System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents();

 if (webBrowserControlRcdMsg.Document != null)
 {

webBrowserControlRcdMsg.Document.Window.ScrollTo(0,
webBrowserControlRcdMsg.Document.Body.ScrollRectangle.Height);

 }
 }
