How to enable auto scroll in a listbox?

[bar3000]

I have a list box in my app and i want it to autoscrol downward so it would always show the last item added. Thank you:)

I think you have to do it manually. After adding an item to the end, call EnsureVisible[^].

didn't quite catch that... can u be more specific with the code?

[Luis Alonso Ramos]

Something like this:

int index = listBox.Items.Add("New item");
listBox.EnsureVisible(index);  // Pass the index of the newly added item

:) [EDIT: Wait!! I was thinking of ListView instead of ListBox. Sorry! I'm looking into it right now.]

Hi, whenever you change the number of items, do a myLB.TopIndex=myLB.Items.Count-1; :)

Found it!! Use the TopIndex[^] property of the ListBox control. [EDIT: Oops, Luc beat me to it. :)]
