I have a JList that is in a JScrollPane. It is possible for the list to be larger than the viewport. What I want to do is always position the scrollbar to the bottom of the list, the default is the top of the list. How do I set the scrollbar positon in a ScrollPane. I have atempted myScrollpane.getVerticalScrollBar().setValue(listSize); but this doesn't appear to be working, is this the proper way? If not what would it be? Robert
