Using VB 6 SP3 and the standard list box, how can I add a horizontal scroll bar to the box? I know it is an API call, I've done it before, but for the life of me cannot remember how to do it.
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks,
David

I just come across this from MSDN Library.
Code:
'======== General Declarations for Form1 ==================
' For VB4 16-bit, add the keyword Private before each Declare,
' and enter the following Declare as one, single line:
Declare Function SendMessage& Lib "user" (ByVal hWnd%, ByVal wMsg%,
ByVal wParam%, ByVal lParam&)
Declare Function GetFocus Lib "User" () as Integer
'======== Form1 =======================
'NOTE: each command must appear on one, single line.
Sub Command1_Click ()
Const LB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT = &H400 + 21
Const NUL = 0&
' wParam is in PIXEL(3).
ScaleMode = 3
' Get the handle.
List1.SetFocus
ListHwnd% = GetFocus()
' This string will show up initially.
ListString1$ = "Derek is a great "
' You can scroll to see this portion.
ListString2$ = "little boy "
' You cannot scroll to see this string.
ListString3$ = "but can be a problem sometimes"
ExtraPixels% = TextWidth(ListString2$)
BoxWidth% = TextWidth(ListString1$)
' Resize the text box.
List1.Move List1.Left, List1.Top, BoxWidth%
' Add the scroll bar.
X& = SendMessage(ListHwnd%, LB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT,
BoxWidth% + ExtraPixels%, NUL)
' Add the example string to the list box.
List1.AddItem ListString1$ + ListString2$ + ListString3$
End Sub
