I tried this with a listbox here and it work for me...
ListBox1 - OnExit event..
ListBox1.Tag := ListBox1.ItemIndex;  //save currently selected itemindex.
Wherever you come back to the listbox (setfocus maybe)..
ListBox1.TopIndex := ListBox1.Tag;  //make the saved itemindex the first in 
the list (scrolls to it) .
Hope this helps you out.
