What canI do? if I want the ListBox has "Horizontal Scroll Bar"?

Fred Tomke

Hi, as far as I remeber, the horizontal scrollbar will be shown automatically when at least one item cannot be displayed in the listbox because of its string length.

I'm not even sure that standard listboxes are able to scroll horizontally, but you can add a feature request.

I don't think there's any way to scroll a listbox "manually".  You could add a splitter to your form and make the list box resizable relative to the splitter so that users can change the list box size when needed.

tooltip?! but if more than one item.....

For the that I know a ListBox up to now it just shows an item for line. 
The posted image shows this. 
Forgive me if I am wrong.

Excuse me I forgot about the option of MultiColumn in ListBox. 
But ToolTip for each item of the line in that the text exceeds your size it seems to be a pattern.
