ListBox, selectionMode: multiple , selected item does not scroll to the top
I have listbox , and its selectionmode is multiple. when I select an item programmatically, the item gets selected(gets highlighted in the listbox), however the selected item does not get scroll to the top. I am using web C#.
The fact that you have multiselect turned on does also complicate it.
I do not know of another way to do this other than to write the code yourself.

okay one minor problem with that sample I provided. I used 92 as the sample item number to select but it will only scroll to the top if the listbox on your form is sized to display 8 items at once. I therefore forgot to say make sure for the sample to make a listbox that displays only 8 items. The routine SelectItemAndScrollToTop should work regardless of the size of the listbox provided it is possible to scroll the selected item to the top.
I wrote this to show how to just swap the two values but you would need something that would change them such that all of the values would switch.
int intIndex = listBox1.SelectedIndex;
if (intIndex != -1) //when something is unselected it is -1
{
string strSelectedItem = listBox1.Items[intIndex].T
string strZeroItem = listBox1.Items[0].ToString
listBox1.Items[0] = strSelectedItem;
listBox1.Items[intIndex] = strZeroItem;
}
