Listbox scrollbar

[xinyiman]

Who tells me how do I activate the scrollbar in the listbox orizzonatel? Examples?

orizzonatel?

You mean orizzontale (italian, horizontal:english)?

It should show up automatically when the content is wider than the component.

is not Italian, I mistyped. Sorry

But really I do not I see the horizontal scrollbar automatically as you say.

Delphi doesn't do horizontal scrollbar either. Also there doesn't seem to be a property to do that either.

At least you have, in theory, option to do a big TList that fits all items vertically and horizontally, and put that in TScrollBox. Or you can use TStringGrid with 1 column. Maybe other choices aswell...

Ok. Thank you

I found references in the Delphi docs to TListBox.ScrollWidth and .ClientWidth. If ScrollWidth > ClientWidth it will show a scrollbar. Can't find these in the Lazarus docs though.

TListView could be an option. It *does* have options to set scrollbar options directly.

Lazarus does support a ScrollWidth property for TListBox. A horizontal scrollbar should appear if you set the listbox's ScrollWidth property to a value greater than the Width of the control.

any update on this? I tried setting scrollWidth to the max integer size, but still there is no horizontal scrollbar. I am using it for pgn files, but I can't see the moves and there is no scroll bar.

Maybe a cocoa issue? On Windows it is working as described by HowardPC (except for the relevant width which must be ClientWidth rather than Width) - see attached project.
