Hi,
  I have a list box,items are added dynamically, the Horizontal scroll bar is added below the list box. I want use this Horizontal scroll bar when ever the item length goes out of list box scope for viewing the full item.

  Regards,
  Ravi.B

Set the ListBox's HorizontalScrollbar to True. I found that at least some times the control doesn't leave quite enough room for the longest item. If you add a couple of spaces at the end of the longest item (or every item), it works fine.

If you only want it when necessary, loop through the items in the list. Use CreateGraphics to get a Graphcis object for the ListBox and use its MeasureString method to see how wide the strings are. Compare them to the control's width (minus a little room for the control's borders). Then set the property accordingly.

Thank you Rod for replying,
  I am using VB6, there is no HorizontalScrollbar present in property to make it True.

  Is there any alternative for that problem..?

Thank,
