Horizontal scrolling in list box

[Reza Shojaee]

Hi I have a list box in my program that insert some string into it with C# code. Sometimes length of string is more than width of list box, but horizontal scroll bar doesn't appear in list box. Do you know solution of my problem ?

Best Regards, Reza Shojaee

The simplest solution is to set ListBox.HorizontalScrollBar = true

You could indeed put the ListBox into a panel with scroll bars on the panel, but unless you make the ListBox either arbitrarily wide, or monitor the length of your strings and modify the ListBox appropriately, you can still run into the problem the OP describes, as the panel will not create scroll bars based on the ListBox content. Try it - you will see what I mean! The simplest solution is to set ListBox.HorizontalScrollBar = true
