[Rwp] MIDI event list fous

[Scott Chesworth]

Should be able to get a set of eyes on this later this evening.
They're not computer savvy eyes, but will get as much info as I can.

That is, if you enter the Event List when the edit cursor is positioned part way through the data, the list view focus still starts at the top. Similarly, when you play and pause while the Event List is focused, the focused item doesn't change. Unfortunately, I can't locate the correct list item using the API alone; believe me, I tried.

From what I've been able to tell, the list view does scroll if the nearest event is not on the screen (even though focus isn't updated). However, this alone isn't enough because it's quite possible that the nearest event *is* still on the screen; e.g. fi you played and stopped only a short time later. Do sighted users get any indication of which is actually the nearest event in the Event List or do they only get scrolling?

Otherwise, I do have another idea of scanning the list view's position column, processing the textual positions and trying to find the nearest position to the edit cursor, but that's something I'd prefer to avoid if I can.
