Hi
I have been experimenting with WPF and MVVM recently after being solely WinForms for a long time. Bit late to the game I know!

I have a window that has 2 combo boxes that are used for filtering a ListBox. I'd like to be able to have the user make a selection in the ListBox then when they then remove the filters, their selection remains and the list view automatically scrolls to it.

This can be done by calling the ScrollIntoView method of the ListBox and I've achieved it by using an event in the code behind the window.

Is there a way to do this in a more MVVM way or is the event way the best way to do it?

What I have tried:

private void cBox_Selected(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    errorListBox.ScrollIntoView(errorListBox.SelectedItem);
}

<ComboBox DockPanel.Dock="Left"
          Width="100"
          ItemsSource="{Binding AvailableFilters, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
          SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedFilter}"
          Name="cBox"
          SelectionChanged="cBox_Selected"
