<p>I wish to dynamically change the scroll position of a Silverlight ListBox from C#, and I need to know how to access the ScrollViewer element of a ListBox control from C#?</p>

<p>Thanks guys,
Jeff</p>

Good question. I didn't find a way to do it directly, but came fairly close by looking at the Silverlight Controls project (they use the scrollviewer on the items control in some of the classes). Here is how you can get it, but it requires a custom listbox:
```
```
public class TestBox : ListBox
{
    private ScrollViewer _scrollHost;

    protected override void PrepareContainerForItemOverride(DependencyObject element, object item)
    {
        var itemsHost = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(element) as Panel;

        for (DependencyObject obj = itemsHost; obj != item && obj != null; obj = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(obj))
        {
            ScrollViewer viewer = obj as ScrollViewer;
            if (viewer != null)
            {
                _scrollHost = viewer;
                break;
            }
         }

        base.PrepareContainerForItemOverride(element, item);
    }
}
```
```
There might be another way to hook into that event (or another way to get that panel), If you look at the template for the ListBox you will see the scroll viewer is actually named "ScrollViewer", however the GetTemplateChild method is protected so you would still need to create a custom class.
