First edit .rc file to add WS_HSCROLL to combo box style codes since dialog does not support this. Then use this function, I've for demo purpose given 600, you need to use GetTextExtent function to get the real extent, look up MSDN for SetHorizontalExtent sample code...

void CDialoTestDlg::AddHScroll()
{
CComboBox* pCmb = (CComboBox*)GetDlgItem(IDC_COMBO_HORZ_EXTENT);
ASSERT( pCmb );

pCmb->SendMessage( CB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT, 600, 0 );
}
