Derek,

I'm confused; Judith sent me a demo you provided her which seems to handle
adding a horizontal scrollbar to a listbox much easier, so why isn't that
sufficient?  As far as I could see, it sets the scrollbar very nicely with
regard to the size of the longest text in the listbox, scrolls just 2 or 3
characters more than longest textline, leaving a slight border making it
easy to read.

excerpt:
    vList       = createEx(List, "", vWindow, 10, 60, 400, 400, WS_HSCROLL,
0)
