Yes. When you go into the template for the ScrollViewer, click above the grid to add another column (so that you have three). Then highlight the column (by clicking in the middle), reset the MinWidth and give it an "Auto" width in the dropdown. I love Blend and use it all the time, but just typing the XAML is easier to me :-) 2. I can definitely reskin the scrollviewer. I'll get right on it and post something in the near future.

Couple of things - 1. When you swapped the width of the columns of the grid, you had to edit the XAML manually. Is there a way to do it within Blend using the "Properties" section? 2. Do you have any plans to do a blog post on "skinning" the scrollviewer control like it appears in Blend itself (and Kaxaml)? Are there any resources I could possibly use as a tutorial? Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and expertise on WPF! Cheers, indyfromoz. Hi Matthias,

MyListView.ScrollIntoView(MyListView.SelectedItem);

I am using a to show a grid of data. When I press Cursor Down the next row is selected as expected, when I scroll down past the lowest visible item the grid scrolls. However, when I set SelectedIndex via code I notice that the item selected is not brought into view. ListView.SelectedIndex++; Do you know how I can set the current row via code and have it made visible (preferably in the vertical centre of the grid, but just visible would be sufficient!). Thankyou very much for your time! Pete I am hoping you can help me with a small problem, it is the only issue preventing me from convincing my boss to allow me to use WPF instead of WinForms.
