EnsureVisible problems

[pachjo]

Hi,

I am trying to get my listview to automatically scroll to the last record in the list of data displayed to ensure the user sees the latest entry rather than having to scroll down each time.

I found references to the EnsureVisible() method but am unable to get it to make any difference to my application....namely it does not move to the last record!

This is what I am trying

[SIZE=2]lsvListView.EnsureVisible(lsvListView.Items.Count - 1)

Any help please?

Thanks

This is how I plugged your code in, thanks

[SIZE=2][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Dim[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] last [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]As[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Short
[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]last = Convert.ToSByte(lsvListView.Items.Count - 1)
lsvListView.Items(last).Selected = [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]True
[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]lsvListView.HideSelection = [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]False
[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]lsvListView.EnsureVisible(last)
MessageBox.Show(lsvListView.Items(last).Text)

This shows me each rows first item in turn and when the final display is up all I have is evey row selected and still no auto scroll

YAHOOOOOOOOOO praise the Lord I have it working

I found a link where someone said that the EnsureVisible method does not work when a ListView is still being updated as the ListView is not redrawn until update is complete.

I placed the call to the EnsureVisible method out side of the function that populates the ListView and.......it works

Hope this helps future peeps who get this same problem

Thanks chaps for all the time you spent trying to resolve this fo me

haha it's always the way.

Glad to see another "bug" Microsoft don't have listed!!

Hopefully you now have the will to live again ...until you stumble on another problem tomorrow!
