How to scroll at the last item in the listbox through an event

[GG]

I know I can scroll to the last item in the listbox by calling
SetSelected all the time
What I need is when I add items through the Items.Add or Items.AddRange
to be called automatically and go the the bottom.
Anybody knows how to be implemented?

Thanks

Derive from ListBox. Override the add and addrange to work the way you want.

Well, there isn't an ItemsAdded event on the listbox, but you could build
one if you wanted.

This is just a thought, but does adding an item trigger a resize? If so,
then you could add the logic to select the last item at the resize event.

Added the code to SizeChanged and works like a charm
if (lstMsgs.Items. Count==0)
return;
//This selects and highlights the last line
this.lstMsgs.Se tSelected(lstMs gs.Items.Count - 1, true);
//This unhighlights the last line
this.lstMsgs.Se tSelected(lstMs gs.Items.Count - 1, false);

This is the code in case somebody needs it

Will take it back. It does not work.

I ended up having a separate proc like this
private void lstMsgsItemsAdd ScrollBottom(ob ject item)
{
this.lstMsgs.It ems.Add(item);
//This selects and highlights the last line
this.lstMsgs.Se tSelected(lstMs gs.Items.Count - 1, true);
//This unhighlights the last line
this.lstMsgs.Se tSelected(lstMs gs.Items.Count - 1, false);
}
and call this one instead of items.add
