When you add a list box with a horizontal scroll bar to a dialog box using MFC classes, the scroll bar will not automatically appear in your application.

To make the scroll bar appear

  1. Set a maximum width for the widest element by calling CListBox::SetHorizontalExtent in your code.

    Without this value set, the scroll bar will not appear, even when the items in the list box are wider than the box.
