That's true; it doesn't scroll (or draw) if the object isn't both usable
and visible. I'll tell the documentation folk to clarify that.
Steve's suggestion about calling LstSetTopItem was a good one.

3a. Call LstSetTopItem to restore scrolling to what it was before (or
perhaps center the selected item, whichever is more helpful to the user.)
