Horizontal scroll bar in Listbox, is it possible ?

[Jean-Philippe Côté]

Hi,

for my app, I need to put a horizontal scroll bar in a listbox because the elements can have 10 characters to more than 50...

Is it possible to do this in GWT ?

Thanks

I think you want to use CSS to control the controls width. Create a
plain html file with a sample select box and try tweaking the CSS
until you find what you want and then do that in your GWT app.

thanks Sandy,

I tried to use this CSS style, but there is no horizontal scroll.

.wa-listbox {
OVERFLOW: auto;WIDTH: 304px;
background-color: #FF0000;

My workaround was to put the ListBox in a ScrollPanel. To prevent the
vertical scrollbar from appearing in the ListBox, every time I add an
element to the list I increment the ListBox's visible item count.
This, however, breaks down in the GWT's hosted mode browser -- the
vertical scrollbar appears anyway after I have added about 10
elements. But it seems to work in Firefox and IE.
I'd be really interested to hear if there is a good way to get
horiontal scrolling in a ListBox.

Hi,

You can emulate a list box by using a scrollpanel + flow panel +
labels + onclick event.
