Best way to have a chat box?

I was going through the GUI elements and realised that none are really suitable for a chat window.

I can render an array of static texts, I could use a listbox, but when it inserts it inserts downwards and i cant figure out a way of making the bottom item always in focus.

can anyone help?

You can focus a listitem by calling "listbox->setSelected(id)" where id is the ID of the item. Try calling this on your last item (perhaps use listbox->getItemCount() as your id).

Ive just tried that. It doesnt set the focus of it though? it sets the highlighted one, but not the one hwich is in focus.
