I didn't get a reply last time I sent this, ( DevCon was more important I guess), so I'm trying again.

On a form I have a listbox, with RowSourceType=7 (Files) & RowSource="images\*.jpg".

I want the user to have an auto-scroll facility, so have added a timer to the form, with the following code in the Timer event

thisform.listbox1.ListIndex = thisform.listbox1.ListIndex+1

(there's a bit of checking to make sure I don't go past the end of the list).

What I have found is that without the timer enabled, I can change drives/directories by clicking on the appropriate entries in the displayed list with no problems. If I enable the timer & allow a timer event to take place, then the listbox acts as I expect it to, scrolling through the list.

The problem is if I change drive/directory first, by clicking on the entries in the list, & then enable the timer & allow timer events to take place, then disable the timer & try to change drive/directory, I am placed straight back to the original directory & have to work my way back to where I want to be.

I've tried this with a button as well & it appears that a programmatic change of ListIndex, causes this problem.

Am I doing something wrong or have I run into a problem with programmatically changing the ListIndex property.

TIA
