Hello,

	ListBoxLog.Index = ListBoxLog.Count - 1 

works for me.

However if you are inside some long running event then the screen may
not be updated. Try adding a WAIT after setting the index.

	ListBoxLog.Add("New Item")
	ListBoxLog.Index = ListBoxLog.Count - 1
	WAIT

So screen update events are processed.

Thanks
