How to fix an Excel listbox that can't scroll the last element into view


Something I had to discover for myself, and which cannot be found anywhere else (which is why I'm posting it here), is that this problem had the added dimension of being dependent on the selection method. While I cannot fathom how the way the scroll bar works is related to not only the height and integral height property, but also the .MultiSelect property, I have found that it is.

When the .IntegralHeight method shown above does not work, the following method somehow does:

With lstbox    .IntegralHeight = False    .Height = myHeight    .IntegralHeight = True    .MultiSelect = fmMultiSelectSingle    .MultiSelect = fmMultiSelectExtendedEnd With

By simply changing the .MultiSelect property to fmMultiSelectSingle, and then restoring it back to the selection style desired, the height of the listbox will be automatically adjusted by the .IntegralHeight property to a slightly different height than when these actions aren't performed - the difference results in the scroll bar working correctly:

Workaround worked

I hope the discovery of this special case and more precise workaround saves someone the hours of frustration and experimentation I had to go through.


i know this is very old post.but i've been through a lot to fix this problem, so i just wanna share my tip. :)

first of all,integralheight method doesn't work when worksheet zoom level is not 100%.

it will change listbox height and width, location, etc. (even if you set object property 'doesn't move or reseize with cell')

and when you try to take it its original size and location with code to fix this, this time its last item can't be seen

my tip is simple.there's combination between font size and listbox height.

if your font size is 6-10(arial, regular), listbox height goes well with multiples of 12.75 (btw my list box style is 1 : ListStyle, 1-fmListStyleOption. it could be different with style 0)

as long as height is same with these multiples of 12.75, there will be no problem.

in case of font size 12(arial, regular), it's multiples of 13.55

so if there's no restiction about listbox size in your project, just resizing it slightly depending on your font size gives more comfort. :)


I had to anchor the position since my ListBox was walking across the page:

With ListBox1  .IntegralHeight = False .IntegralHeight = True .Height = 45 .Width = 69 .Top = 0 .Left = 1255.5End With
