Answer 2

Add handlers for button clicks:

  private void buttonUp_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
   if (listBox1.SelectedIndex > 0) 
     listBox1.SelectedIndex--;
   listBox1.ScrollIntoView(listBox1.SelectedItem);

  }

  private void buttonDown_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
   if (listBox1.SelectedIndex < listBox1.Items.Count - 1) 
     listBox1.SelectedIndex++;
   listBox1.ScrollIntoView(listBox1.SelectedItem);
  }

        if(lbZones.SelectedIndex > 0) {
            lbZones.SelectedIndex--;
            lbZones.ScrollIntoView(lbZones.SelectedIndex);
        }
    }

    private void btnArrowDown_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
        if(lbZones.SelectedIndex < lbZones.Items.Count - 1) {
            lbZones.SelectedIndex++;
            lbZones.ScrollIntoView(lbZones.SelectedIndex);
        }
    }
