Is it possible to add a horizontal scroll bar to listboxbox?

Hi, Is it possible to add a horizontal scroll bar to listboxbox? To be clear, it is a listbox(), not a col list box().

 

Ex:

names default to here(1);
myList ={};
for(i = 1, i <= 10, i++,
	myList[i] = char(i) || "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
	
);

myWin = new window("test", lb = listbox(myList,nlines(7), width(250)));

 

Thanks,

Mike

There does not appear to be a way to get horizontal scrollbars within a ListBoxBox. You can send an email to us, if you would like, at support@jmp.com and we can submit a suggestion to our development team for review.

You could use an H Scroll Bar around of your List Box, but there would be some odd behavior and you would need to set a wide width for the LIst Box. 

A simpler option might be to add tips to each item in the List Box so that if the item is wider than the available space, you can view the content as a tooltip. Below is an example script of how to do this using the Set Tip message.

Names Default To Here( 1 );
myList = {};
For( i = 1, i <= 10, i++,
	myList[i] = Char( i ) ||
	Repeat( "_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", 3 );
	
);

myWin = New Window( "test",
	lb = List Box(
		myList,
		nlines( 7 ),
		width( 250 ),
		<<set tips( myList )
	)
);
