Darn, wouldn't you know it would be a question that I don't have an answer for off the top of my head. I haven't used .Find(), so I have no practical experience with it and, as it's late and I'm ready to hit the sack, I don't have time to research it right now. The "correct" way to move to the right row would be to mess with the BindingContext[].Position, but I don't know if there's a built-in way to get there when using the .Find() or not.

Sorry I can't be more help right now. If you haven't figured out another way by tomorrow (or if someone else doesn't suggest something), perhaps I can take a quick look at it in the morning. Sorry. =(

This method shouldn't know or care about what listbox is bound to it, but I can't figure out how to actually get the Find() method to move to the row in question.
