Hello,

Just a little oversight I've seen in Workbench, if file(s) are selected from a Workbench window programmatically (e.g. through Arexx), yes the window/drawer is opened, but if there are many files in the window/drawer and the selected file(s) are at the bottom of the window/drawer out of view the vertical scrollbar doesn't not 'jump/auto-scroll' to meet the selection. An important usability issue.

Try the MAKEVISIBLE argument to the ICON ARexx command in Workbench.

Best regards,

Niels

I have the same problem in my programs when I use ChangeWorkbenchSelection() to open a drawer and select a file into it.

Is it a tag that simulates the option MAKEVISIBLE that nbache speak about ?

Thank you
