Re: Drop down list with horizontal scroll bar

A dropdown list can only be as long as it's parent, ( although I think it can be
less ! ).
There's a demo ( combo_emu.exw ) in my tutorials that emulates a dropdown *with*
a larger list.
Although I don't show it, you can use:
void=sendMessage(yourlist, LB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT, 600, 0)
--where LB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT=404,
--( and 600 is size, for example )
--to give this list a horizontal scroll bar, for an even larger 'view'.
