Sorry if this question has been already asked and answered - I have not kept up with this newsgroup as of late. Does anyone know why the scroll bars on my listboxes disappeared when I upgraded my Windows 2.1 application with the 3.0 SDK? Is there a new way to set up scroll bars in a listbox. I had previously used the WS_VSCROLL style type with the definition of listbox in the resource file. It worked it version 2.1. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If the entries fit in the visible portion of the list, no scrollbar is shown. This is done dynamically as the list shrinks and grows (assuming you program causes it to do so). cheers - Paul Bonneau.

Thanks. > with win3 , scroll bars only appear in listboxes when they are needed ; i.e. when the contents of the listbox are longer than the listboxes physical size . if a listbos starts out with only a few items , and later grows in size enough so that it needs scrollbars , they will appear if the programmer has specified them . likewise , they will disappear if the list grows shorter . -- @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ "Imagination keeps the shadows away - Xymox @ @~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@ @ a.stranger - CMS2839@ritvax.isc.rit.edu @

I had previously used the WS_VSCROLL style type In 3.0 a scroll bar appears only if there are more items than will fit on the screen.
