In a proper design it should be a matter of enabling the scrollbars of
the component, and specifying the virtual (full) extent of the
component. See e.g. TScrollBox. When a component doesn't have
implemented such functionality, you can wrap it into a TScrollBox, and
set its virtual extent to the actually required width and height.
Use a TMemo, and set its ScrollBars property to ssAutoBoth?
Okay, yet another approach. I will try it. Thanks.
Though each change of object type requires me to apply all the anchor
settings of all visible objects in the form again, because most of them
are anchored to the list. Quite a lot of work.
Still I am wondering why nobody seems to miss a horizontal shift for
TListBox and TStringGrid (especially because a slider is shown for
TStringGrid but does not work). Are these bugs which nobody discovered
since years? I can't believe it.
AFAIR Windows and Delphi only offer multi-column listboxes, where the
listbox items are arranged in grid style, with a row count according to
the component height, and excess items shown in additional (scrollable)
columns. This won't help in your case, though.
