I have a program that adds items to a visible list at a regular interval and I have set it to select the last item if the list item count exceeds a certain number. This effectively scrolls the list as new items are added. I am curious if there is a way to accomplish the same thing without selecting the last item in the list using API or a Windows message.

Here is the code I'm using...

[CodeScript]

LB_GETCOUNT

wParam = 0; // not used; must be zero
lParam = 0; // not used; must be zero

AND

LB_INSERTSTRING

wParam = (WPARAM) index; // item index
lParam = (LPARAM) (LPCTSTR) lpsz; // address of string to insert


An application sends an LB_INSERTSTRING message to insert a string into a list box. Unlike the LB_ADDSTRING message, the LB_INSERTSTRING message does not cause a list with the LBS_SORT style to be sorted.

Use LB_GETCOUNT to get the number of items (or even VDS)
now U know the last item.
Use LB_INSERTSTRING to add the contents at the last position.

Ofcourse this may move your selected item up as the list grows.
U can get good examples with constant values for both from PGWARE's VDS API Reference.

OK I think I have mistaken
You want scroll without select ?

LB_SETTOPINDEX

THAT is what I was looking for! Thank you CodeScript!
