Hello everyone,

 This has to be an obvious one. How do I get an horizontal scrollbar on a
TListBox? Can't fugure it out...

Regards,
P      

How bout' this:

procedure Form1.FormActivate(Sender : tObject);
begin
  SendMessage(ListBox1.Handle, LB_SetHorizontalExtent, 1000,
longint(0));
end;

Rkr

Here's a slightly different approach that triggers the scrollbars
based on the size of the contents of the listbox:

{the following code provides for horizontal scrollbars in OrgListBox}
  MaxWidth := 0;
  for i := 0 to OrgListBox.Items.Count -1 do
    if MaxWidth <
OrgListBox.Canvas.TextWidth(OrgListBox.Items.Strings[i]) then
      MaxWidth :=
OrgListBox.Canvas.TextWidth(OrgListBox.Items.Strings[i]);
  SendMessage(OrgListBox.Handle,LB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT, MaxWidth+2,0);
