Turn on horizontal scroll bar for combo box

I have a client who wants to see a significant number of columns in a combo
box. To this point I have been able to accomodate him. Now he want to add
more columns and he is physically out of screen real estate (horizontally).

I saw a picture in a book showing a combo box with vertical and horizontal
scroll bars and the horizontal scroll bar would solve my problem instantly.

How do I turn on or show horizontal scroll bars inside combo boxes?

Thanks,

Seth

As soon as the width of your visible columns is wider than the ListWidth
property the horizontal scrollbar will automatically appear.
