Question

I am making a chat function on my site.
When somebody enter any text to it, I want it to show all messeges from when ever he entered the chat until now. It works fine and all…

var query = from es in gr.chats
                            where es.timestamps > date
                            orderby es.timestamps ascending
                            select es;

                List<chat> list = new List<chat>();
                foreach (chat chat1 in query)
                {
                    list.Add(chat1);
                }

                for (int i = 0; i < list.Count; i++)
                {
                    lbChat.Items.Add("[" + list[i].timestamps + "] " + list[i].personID.ToString() + ": " + list[i].besked);
                }

BUT

I want the focus in my listbox to be on my newest entry… I want to move my listbox focus to the bottom of the listbox all the time.

Anybody got any ideas on how to focus on the last entry in a listbox??

Answer 1

this.ListBox1.Items.Add(new ListItem("Hello", "1"));
this.ListBox1.SelectedIndex = this.ListBox1.Items.Count - 1;

The first line simply adds an item. The second one sets its SelectedIndex which determines which item in the ListBox item’s list should be selected.
