Language, platform? WPF, WinForms, ASP.NET...? (I know the answer, of course, but answer the question. Be sure next time you put all relevant tags.)

By the way 1) your explanation is clear, 2) this is one of the easiest questions from both standpoints: of inquirer and the one who answers, 2) if this is hard to explain, how are you going to get help for essential problems.

I'll up-vote to "3" because your intent is very good: many others don't care about visibility of items at all. :-)

It would be help to know what environment you are working in, Windows or Web? Visual-Studio as a tag is not helpful at all.

You STILL haven't specified the language, whether or not you're using .Net, or ANYTHING that can help us help you.

Solution 2

You didn't mention the platform (unmanaged C++ or .Net)

For .Net, set the TopIndex property.

For C++/MFC, it's listBox.SetTopIndex().

Please, don't assume the platform/technology, better force inquirers to specify the platform.
I'm asking because a mass of such questions already created a disaster.
Honestly.

I think I covered the most widely used ones. Almost nobody does WPF...

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 25-Jan-11 12:19pm

Nobody does WPF? Is so, this is a sad fact.
Well, then you covered most widely uses indeed, who would argue against that.

As to situation with WPF, it may change with time, let's see.

I said *almost* nobody.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 25-Jan-11 12:37pm

Yes, I noticed that. I like accuracy. That's why I expressed my agreement; otherwise I would say you were lying :-)
Thank you.
Respect,

Solution 1

Have you tried the Listbox.ScrollIntoView()[^] method?

You do not say which language you are using, so I have assumed C# and WindowsForms.

Your tag 'Visual-Studio' imparts no useful information.

I think you can afford to back off on the guidance. We've all been here quite a while and know the dangers of answering questions.

John, with all my respect, you're way too sensitive. I think it's second time you blame on my comment just out of annoyance. My comment does not question your competence. It does not matter who spend what time in what activity, not at all -- you should admit it. This is my opinion: "force inquirers to specify the platform", no comment needed to assume this is just my opinion. If you feel uncomfortable even about this comment, you need more internal freedom.

We're doing together not bad, and I deeply respect your expertise, thinking and opinions; no reason to spoil it.

Best,
