How to programmatically scroll to Node with ScrollPane that is bound to VirtualizedScrollPane

[JordanMartinez]

I've asked this on StackOverflow, since that seems like the place to have that discussion. However, I am also opening an issue here because I think you, @TomasMikula , would probably be one of the few who could answer this specific question.

Do the nodes in the ScrollPane have any correspondence to items in the VirtualFlow (assuming that the VirtualizedScrollPane contains a VirtualFlow). If so, I would bring the VirtualFlow's item to the viewport using VirtualFlow.showAsFirst(itemIndex) and let the ScrollPane adjust automatically.

Yes and no :-D

ScrollPane {
    HBox {
        LeafPane { // these Nodes match up with each line in StyledTextArea
            Node
            Nodes...
        }
        ParentPane { // these Nodes are unpredictable in their layout
            Node
            Nodes...
        }
        Higher ParentPanes and and their Nodes {} // unpredictable in their layout
    }
}

So, such a thing would work for the Nodes in the LeafPane but not for any in the ParentPanes

Well, then it doesn't seem to be Flowless related. I don't know why your approach would not work. You can convert coordinates relative to a node to coordinates relative to its parent with the localToParent method. You will need to use it multiple times for deeper hierarchies.

Ok, I guess I'll have to play around it with some more.
