I am handling the Listbox DrawItem event to enable the listbox strings to be
displayed in different colours for easy reading.
Have set ScrollAlwaysVis ible and HorizontalScrol lbar to true.
I Anchor the listbox T, L, R, B on the parent form
The string items held within the listbox are quite big, much longer than
could be displayed within the Listbox display area.
When I expand the parent form then more of the string is displayed.
Problem is the Horizontal scroolbar may as well not be there as it constantly
implies there is nothing outside the display area, to display.
Do I need to handle this somehow within the DrawItem event ????

Paul,
I don't know if it helps, but set the DrawMode to OwnerDrawVariab le and
handle the MeasureItem event.
In this case the list box will have all information on the size of the items
and probably will update the scrollbar accordingly.
BTW I didn't quite understand what is the problem with the scrollbar.

Hoi Stoitcho.
Have actually tried the approach you suggested but no joy. The problem is the
following. If my Items (strings) are much too long to be displayed within the
Listbox display window, the scrollbar area is present on the bottom of the
display area, but there is NO scrollbar proper within the scrollbar area,
implying all data for the Items is visible already in the Listbox display
area. When I set the DrawMode to Normal, the slidebar works as expected. As I
say I did try the DrawMode OwnerDrawVariab le technique and handle the
MeasureItem event correctly, but still no proper scrollbar support. The
Vertical scrollbar works perfectly fine.
Many thanks for your help and if you can think of anything else (maybe this
is a bug !!) I would appreciate it.
Paul.

Hello all
I have a fairly simple listbox into which I add, insert, and remove strings
It has the following property settings
HorizontalScrollbar - true
HorizontalExtent -

The problem I am having is that the horizontal scrollbar range doesn't work right. If I add a string, the first time the sting width exceeds the control width the bar appears, but it's off by a few pixels so the last character is...

greetings,
The listbox control on my aspx page has a vertical
scrollbar. But some of the text extends beyond the right
limit of the listbox. I don't see a horizontal scrollbar,
and I don't see any scrollbar properties in the property
sheet in vs2003. Would this be a styles item? If so, how
to invoke. If not, is it possible to invoke a horizontal
scrollbar? how to do that?

I have an ownerdrawn listbox that paints items in various colors dependant
upon whether or not it has focus, selected, etc. The code that physically
paints the items is in the drawItem event, and it works... the items change
colors accordingly and the end result is what I expected to get. But it
feels sluggish, like it's painting redundant info or too many times, or
something.
So I carefully debugged the drawitem event and discovered...

Hi all you Experts,
I need to scroll a listbox horizontally.
For the life of me I cannot get it to move. I can successfully scroll
it vertically.
I have the handle for the listbox and the scroll bar.
I have even tried sending it vbKeyRight to no avail, but it doesn't
register the key strokes.
I am using

How do I make a ListBox display the horizontal scrollbar if the text of
any of the items in the ListBox exceeds the width of the ListBox?
Unlike the vertical scrollbar which gets displayed automatically if the
number of items in the ListBox exceed the height of the ListBox, the
horizontal scrollbar doesn't get displayed automatically when the text
of any of the items in the ListBox exceeds the width of the ListBox!

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
