    Question Listbox Scroll

    Hello and thanks in advance for any who respond to my question.

    The default llistbox behavior seems to be to add a vertical scroll bar automatically whenever the number of items exceeds the listbox size.

    This is fine, however I would like to see the most recently added element, which I can't do unless I manually scroll down.

    Is there a way to automatically scroll down when a new item is added to the listbox?

    Try this:

    lstBox.AddItem "Item"
    lstBox.ListIndex = lstBox.NewIndex

    Thanks Phil. Is there any way to do this in the event that a new item is added? In other words, can I capture the event that something new was added to the listbox and then do list1.listendex = newindex?

    finding every instance where I do list1.additem will be difficult as it is spread throughout the program in different modules. Thanks again.

    I don't think adding an item raises an event. I would probably create a helper function to add an item and set the ListIndex, then do a search for AddItem and replace it with a call to the helper function.
