Faster selection of elements in list-boxes...

I've a long listbox and I like to find my values faster by typing the first letter of the search-value and the marker should jump to the first element starting with that letter. How can I do this?
The same problem holds with using the scrolling function of the mouse - how can I activate it?

This should be on by default.

When the VI is running, or when the panel is in run mode, tab to the
listbox and type ahead. It should move around like you expect. If not,
you can tweak using the Keyboard Mode. Also keep in mind that typeahead
works best when lists are sorted, or almost sorted.

If you want the keyboard there without tabbing, set the Key Focus
property for the listbox to TRUE whenever you want it to be the keyboard
focus.

The menus should
alread type ahead when they have are opened and have a
scrollbar.
