CListBox scroll bar not getting enabled

FASTian

the vertical scroll bar doesnt get enabled if i add string which doesnt fit a list box. Any ideas what seems to be the problem here. Horizontal scroll bar seems to work fine. m_lstboxMessages.AddString(sServerMsg); UpdateData(FALSE); where m_lstboxMessages is control variable of CListBox Any suggestion regarding this??

Make sure that the Vertical ScrollBar property of your control is enabled. You should be able to see this in the resource view.

The vertical scroll bar is not concerned with a string's length. It comes into play when there are more items in the control than can be displayed (e.g., the control can only show 10 strings but 15 have been added). If I am correct, it sounds like you simply need to call SetHorizontalExtent() in the dialog's OnInitDialog() method..

nopes thats not the case the horizontal bar shows correctly... when i add a long string. It only shows a part of the string according to the vertical height i.e it just shows only the last 10 characters or something like that...

I think I understand, but a picture is worth 1,000 words. Can you provide one?

You can't (that I know of). You'd need to upload one to your own Web site and provide a link for it here.
