9.7. Force a List Box to Scroll to the Most Recently Added Item
Problem
You need to scroll a list box programmatically so that the most recently added items are visible.
Solution
Set the ListBox.TopIndex property, which sets the first visible list item.
How It Works
In some cases, you might have a list box that stores a significant amount of information or one that you add information to periodically. Often, the most recent information, which is added at the end of the list, is more important than the information at the top of the list. One solution is to scroll the list box so that recently added items are visible. The ListBox.TopIndex property enables you to do this by allowing you to specify which item is visible at the top of the list.
