Get and Set the position of a ListBox scroll bar

[lagu2653 via DotNetMonster.com]

Is it possible to set the position of a ListBox scroll bar in C#. I've
inherited the ListBox class. I get a NullReferenceException when I try to do
this:

IEnumerator i = listBox1.Controls.GetEnumerator();
i.MoveNext();
MessageBox.Show(string.Format("i.Current.Visible.ToString() = {0}", (
(ScrollBar)i.Current).Visible.ToString()));

i.Current returns NULL. It works for a datagrid. The controls collection is
empty.

It works for DataGrid because it's a managed control, wereas ListBox is
wrapper around a native one. To hide a scroll bar in the ListBox, you'd need
to use P/Invoke by changing its window style bits.
Or the other workaround could be placing the ListBox inside of a panel and
making the panel's width smaller on the width of the scroll bar.

I don't want to hide the scroll bar. I want to scroll it into a certain
position. I want to set the value to e.g.

Scrollbar.value = 247;

Can you do that by P/Invoking something. Where can I find a specification for
the DLLs, which I need to P/Invoke?
