Horizontal scrollbar for list box?

[Maggie24]

Hi all,

I know there is a default vertical scroll bar for a list box with a long list of records so you can scroll down to view them all....however if i have loads of columns i want to display is there a way of setting up a horizontal scrollbar or a property to turn this on, where i can scroll across to view all columns in my list box.

thanks a million,

Maggie

You might want to change the column count in the properties of the list box to equal the number of columns to appear. I believe the default value is 1.

I have done this - i have put the column count equal to 8 but the only way i can see the columns is if i stretch out the box - i dont want to this as it takes up too much of my page.

Any other suggestions to get a horizontal scrollbar to appear?

Thanks,

Maggie

Having reduced the box - the scrollbar now appears,

Same question, but with only one column. I have one column that can span say 3", but I only want the list box to span 1.5". Is there a way to scroll across to the right to view the missing text?
