<div>
Something like below, for the list view, have the scrollviewer's scroll changed event handled as shown below:<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41389929-1"><span>&lt;ListView Height=&quot;96&quot; HorizontalAlignment=&quot;Left&quot; Margin=&quot;54,58,0,0&quot; Name=&quot;ListView1&quot; VerticalAlignment=&quot;Top&quot; Width=&quot;413&quot; ScrollViewer.ScrollChanged=&quot;ListView1_ScrollChanged&quot;&gt;            </span>
</code></pre>
In the scroll changed, event as you scroll, you get the current item and the number of items shown, so the visible list view items indices shall start from the offset for a count of number of items.<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41389929-2"><span>    Private Sub ListView1_ScrollChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.Controls.ScrollChangedEventArgs)</span>
<span>        Debug.WriteLine(&quot;Vertical offset: &quot; &amp; e.VerticalOffset) 'In the current view, index of the element which is first in the list view</span>
<span>        Debug.WriteLine(&quot;View port Height: &quot; &amp; e.ViewportHeight) 'Number of list view items shown in the current view.</span>
<span>    End Sub</span>
</code></pre>
</div>

Many thanks I will give this a try and report back.<br />

<div>
While the code given above does not work for recovery of the item indices it did lead me to a solution that does work.<br />
<br />
First there is no need to iterate over the visual tree to find the Viewport offset and height, both of these values are in the &quot;e&quot; argument (ScrollChangedEventArgs) of the Scroll Changed event, so they may be read directly in the event handler.<br />
<br />
Second, the parsing of the visual tree given in the example assumes too much about that tree and a more generic iteration process is required in order to traverse the visual tree to find the &quot;ActualHeight&quot; value for a ListViewItem.<br />
<br />
Having said that the given example did lead me to a solution so I will mark it as the solution.<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hi SidPrice,<br />
Here are my comments as response for your last comment.<br />
1&gt; <u><i><b>First there is no need to iterate over the visual tree to find the Viewport offset and height, both of these values are in the &quot;e&quot; argument (ScrollChangedEventArgs) of the Scroll Changed event, so they may be read directly in the event handler.</b></i></u><br />
Karrtik: This is required because when no scrolling has happened, for the first time load, at that time ListView1_ScrollChanged is not raised and if we do not use visual tree helper, then the number of items shown in the UI cannot be known. hence it is only done for the first time when numberofitemsshown = 0 .<br />
2&gt; <u><i><b>Second, the parsing of the visual tree given in the example assumes too much about that tree and a more generic iteration process is required in order to traverse the visual tree to find the &quot;ActualHeight&quot; value for a ListViewItem.</b></i></u><br />
Karrtik: This is in a way contradictory to your first comment, as per your first comment there is no need to iterate over visual tree, in that case this code of visual tree need not be present at all, so where is the question this not being generic enough? :-)<br />
Anyway, as I have mentioned above this code is required for the first time when no scrolling has happened.<br />
As far as it not being generic, let us look at the code below to see where you expect it to be more generic and what would issues would happen because of below code.<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41391089-1"><span>        If numberofitemsshown = 0 Then</span>
<span>            Dim lvchild As Visual = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(ListView1, 0)</span>
<span>            Dim anotherchild As Visual = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(lvchild, 0)</span>
<span>            Dim sv As ScrollViewer = CType(anotherchild, ScrollViewer)</span>
<span>            numberofitemsshown = sv.ViewportHeight</span>
<span>        End If</span>
</code></pre>
Explanation of each line of code above:<br />
1&gt; Dim lvchild As Visual = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(<wbr />ListView1,<wbr /> 0), //This returns the border<br />
Karrtik: We are trying to get the number of items shown in the list view when no scrolling has happened and your question is specific to List view, so I do not see any problem in the code above where we are trying get the first child of List view.<br />
2&gt; &nbsp;Dim anotherchild As Visual = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(<wbr />lvchild, 0)// Border's child is scroll viewer<br />
Karrtik: It is a microsoft documented approach where first child of listview shall return a Border object and from Border we can get the scroll viewer, so can you please tell me why you think this is going to be an issue? Or how in your case you would make it more generic?<br />
3&gt; Dim sv As ScrollViewer = CType(anotherchild, ScrollViewer)<br />
Karrtik: As per MS documentation, first child of border of listview is the scroll viewer, hence we are type casting the first child of border as scroll viewer. Please help me understand how you plan to make it more generic, and what issue can happen with code above?

Many thanks for your detailed response, your help was appreciated the first time it was posted and it was marked as a solution.<br />
<br />
I do not see any issues in using the event args, should I experience an issue your input I have no doubt will be invaluable.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a ListView that is show a number of items. In order to have a reliable way of ensuring that a particular item is not only scrolled into view but also in the center of the display I need to discover the indices of the visible items. After much searching I cannot find a way of discovering the indices of the items currently in view. It seems all the examples I find are for virtualized ListViews and mine is a default view and not virtualized. The ListView only displays a list, no icon type view.ing<br />

Thanks,<br />

WPF getting the indices of ListView displayed items

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

Visual Basic.NET

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
