How to make a listbox scroll horizontally

Question

I have a listbox that contains a long string.

The beginning is not all that relevant for the user which is why I'd like to make the listbox scroll automatically programatically to the right.

You can scroll to the last item vertically but I've not yet found a way to simulate the user scroll to the right.

Any ideas?

Solution 1

listbox.HorizontalScrollbar = true;

Solution 2

You should use listbox.HorizontalScrollbar = true;

@Junaith What does that mean? What do you meant by auto?

[Junaith]

What I understood from the question is that if the selected item is not visible completely then the horizontal scroll should move to the end to display the last part.. atleast this is my understanding

@Junaith This is also similar to Auto only. If items is fully visible scrollbar will not be shown, but it will not scroll to end. Doing so will be annoying. When you are scrolling vertically horizontal scrollbar will be moved automatically. No user will like that.

I completely agree that it would be annoying... but I thought thats what the OP wanted. I might be wrong... only OP can confirm

Junaith is correct, I want to programatically move the horizontal scrollbar to the right-most position according to what is currently displayed in the list box. Strike the word automatically because you're right, that would be annoying. But I'm filling the listbox programatically and then uon display I want it be right-sided when the form is shown.
