No you aren't :-) I am...

Thanks for your little example. It performs well, just as expected... in 
Gambas 2. My project still is in Gambas 1, an older one which I didn't 
have the time yet to convert to Gambas 2.

So that seems to be the reason, the TableView simply seems to react 
different in those versions, more clever in Gambas 2. I cannot persuade 
it to react like this in Gambas 1. If you add TableView.Row = -1, it 
jumps back to the beginning of the list.


Ok, I'll keep it like

TableView.MoveTo(position, 0)
TableView.EnsureVisible

which sets the blue selection on that line and makes it a bit visible 
(really only a bit in my app, but one can see something...)

And the next step will be to make a little window appear for a few 
seconds or some other hint somewhere around there saying "You got 
something new to look for".


Anyway, thanks a lot for your help!
