You can do it this way, but it will not preserve the current selection:

VB Code:

[i]listboxname[/i].ListIndex = [i]listboxname[/i].ListCount - 1

or If you want to make some kind of animation with scrolling then you can use a timer and put the source code that fiburt1 gave into the timer event

Your signature says you are 15.
ummmmm... i doubt a company would hire a 15-yr old to do their programming.

it's a summer job, and i get paid $5.50/hr for it.

it's experience, that all im practically getting out of it.

and some good references.

How much experience do you have Nabeel? I am also 15 but I am sure that nobody is gonna hire me for programming unless I know - atleast - lots of C\C++ OR vb

hey!...how did you know?

well i just wrote on my application that i know VB and stuff, so they saw that and put me in a programming job. i just got lucky i guess.

how much VB do i know? i dunno, lots i guess, ive done classes/collections and all that fun stuff..look around in a bunch of places, and on your application write how much VB you know and write "i enjoy programming","i enjoy working with computers"..otherwise id be doing data entry

[Edit:] oh i forgot i wrote that in "occupation"..lol. yeah its not like a "big" project..its small to medium sizeish (however u measure it)

This will force the list box to select the last item in the listbox, scrolling it down

ListBox1.SelectedItem = ListBox1.Items.Item(ListBox1.Items.Count - 1)

You do realize you replied to a thread that is 8 years old?
P.S. What you posted may work in .Net but not VB6.

It's like the military.
