LB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT

An application sends an LB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT message to set the width, in pixels, by which a list box can be scrolled horizontally (the scrollable width). If the width of the list box is smaller than this value, the horizontal scroll bar horizontally scrolls items in the list box. If the width of the list box is equal to or greater than this value, the horizontal scroll bar is hidden.

LB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT 
wParam = (WPARAM) cxExtent; // horizontal scroll width 
lParam = 0;                 // not used; must be zero
