Has anybody succeeded in creating a listbox with a horizontal scrollbar? In our application the strings in the listbox can be long and we want to scroll horizontally. When I create the listbox I set the window style to WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | LBS_NOTIFY | WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL . It seems that WS_HSCROLL has no effect. The SDK documentation says it should be possible. Any clues? Gert Nilsson TELESOFT AB Box 4148 S-203 12 Malmoe Sweden

Any clues? > In my limited MS Windows SDK knowledge, I think Windows will automatically hide the horizontal scroll bar until you have a line of text or graphics which is wider than the window width. So, you code could be working all along. May be try to manual size your window to very narrow and see if the horizontal scroll bar appear. Regards, ## Life is fast enough as it is ........
