Jump to first selected item in ListBox control

Hi,

I have a multi-select ListBox that shows 5 rows at a time, but contains
possibly a hundred or more items. As I retrieve relevant data from
the database, I set the SelectedIndex of the rows matching the value
for the current entry, and those show up as selected in the ListBox
without any problems.

However it is entirely possible, even likely, that the first selected
index in the ListBox will not be in the first several items in the
ListBox. I've looked around for some way to automatically scroll the
ListBox to the first selected item in the array so that the user can
immediately see that an item is populated without having to scroll
through the list, but I haven't found examples of anything that
accomplishes this goal.

If anyone has any ideas regarding how to achieve this result, I would
greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Simon Cartin

Hi I have written a code for showing the list boxes as selected using a Listitem and the selected property of the items. Now I have 2 list boxes in my page. But it shows only the selected values of the last list box in both the list boxes. If i reverse the calls to the filllistbox methods it shows the value selected for the 1st list box in both the listboxes. I have the code for my method below. Is there a way I can solve this problem?

How do I change the selected item in a listbox according to a Combox's selected item on the same form? The Combox is from a different table in the same dataset as the Listbox uses. Combox's ValueMember is a ID that is a column in the table that the listbox uses. Is there a way to link these 2's relation so that when the user changes the selection in the Combox the list box would automacticall changes to reflect the items that's linked to...

I need to have a control (currently trying to use listbox) where the user can have nothing selected if they choose. Any way to do that with a list box or would I be better off with a RadioButtonList? Any other bound controls I should look into? Thanks!

Hello all, I am trying to go through a ListBox and verify if am item was selected. If an item was selected, I would like to get a handle of the item and simply do a response.write on the selected handle. The issue that I am facing is that I am going each item, but my code does not catch the selected item. Can anyone please take a look at the code and let me know what I am doing wrong.

Hi! I'm using a standard server side ASP.Net listbox control on a web form. The page is basically various shades of green. The listbox itself has a pale green background and forest green text and a forest green border. However, when you move the cursor from one item to the next within the listbox or you click on an item in the listbox to select it, the background turns to the standard windows dark blue with white letters. Well, that...

I've tried googling for the answer to this problem, without any luck. I'm sure the truth must be out there somewhere! I have a multiselect listbox populated with many items (set by the RowSource property). In my code I cause a number of these to be selected - but if the first selected item is not within the currently visible range then there is no change to the display. This gives the impression that nothing has happened. I think...

I have two listboxes on an asp.net web control (ascx). I want them to act non-mutually-exclusive. In other words, if an item in one listbox is selected, I want the other to be clear. The problem I am solving is that I have a listbox with active job postings and a second with inactive job postings for my employer. I want to be able to just use one button to pull the selected job posting. Currently, this is impossible since a posting from...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
