ListBox: items too long

[Robert Maier]

In my application I use various listbox controls. In some case items are too long to be shown entirely in the listbox. From other applications I am used to listboxes, that show an item as a tooltip, when the mouse pointer is positioned over it. However, i have no idea how to find out, over which item the mouse pointer is, as long as no click event or the like has occured. Could please someone help? Another idea would be a horizontal scroll bar, but as far as I know, there is non for the ListBox control.

Hi
The lstbox can have a horizontal scrollbar, but you need to use the api for that.
You should find it at http://www.codeguru.com/vb/Controls/ListBox/index.shtml

Hi,

On the VBnet site, i have seen an example,

http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/code/listapi/rightmouseclick.htm

where he shows how to get the right mouse click, and how to get the current mouse position over the list box. From that index, you can get the list item text and display either in a status bar or as tool-tip .
