Hi,
I think there is a problem . I to tried with the same but the horizontal scrollbar does not appear.

The solution to this is open the .RC file in text mode and add WS_HSCROLL to the styles of the combo box.

Keep rest of the styles as it is
"CBS_AUTOHSCROLL| CBS_SORT | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP

To the above style add WS_HSCROLL.

and that works. U will see the Horizontal scrollbar for ur Combobox.

Also call the SetHorizontalExtent

Reply me wether it worked for u
-Regards

Hi,
Thank you very much, now it's works.
But I'm still wondering two thinks
1. Why there is no property for this style in property box.
2. Can I do it programmatically, I've tried thinks like below but it doesn't works

CComboBox* pCombo=(CComboBox*) GetDlgItem(IDC_COMBO1);
DWORD style=pCombo->GetStyle();
pCombo->ModifyStyle(style,style|WS_HSCROLL);



Thanks one more time.
