Proposal: Expose a method in ListViewBase that allows scrolling to a specific item using the item's index.

Summary

There should be a method in ListView that can scroll items into view by their index. Currently there is ScrollIntoView(object item) that accepts item itself to bring into view. This method isn't useful when there are duplicate items in the ItemsSource. It only brings first matching index to the view.

To bring the items into view by calling ScrollIntoView(object item), the internal implementation uses item's index.

Line 3176 in 66a7b0a

Selector::ScrollIntoView(

This method accepts the item's index rather than the item itself. It seems possible to expose a method like ScrollIntoView(int index) in ListViewBase.

Rationale

• There is no method available in ListViewBase to scroll duplicate items into view.
• The current method results in unwanted indexes, causing ambiguity.

This proposal will allow developers to scroll any index within the ListViewBase by using it's index.	Must
