I've got a listbox control that I've populated with about 500 items.
When certain actions are performed in another control I need to alter
the currently selected item in the listbox. That part works fine, I
just make a call the the SetStringSelection method of the listbox.
The problem is that when I select an item in the listbox that is
scrolled off the screen that item does not automatically scroll into
the visible portion of the listbox. So, the user is left to click on
the listbox scrollbar until they finally find which item was selected.
Is there a way to have the listbox scroll itself when the selection
changes so that the new selection is in the visible window?

Yes, I've tried that and it doesn't scroll the listbox. Thanks for
the suggestion.

Have you tried wx.ListBox.EnsureVisible(selectionInt)? This will of
course require getting the index of the item you are selecting.

Which platform?

There is also SetFirstItem. If that doesn't work either then please
enter a bug report about it, specifying the platform for the category.
