I have a list box with 2 columns. Is there a way to suppress the horizontal
scroll bar without making the box wide enough to accommodate the widths of
both columns?

To accomplish what? Without the scroll bar there is no way to see the text that
doesn't fit. If users don't need to see the text that won't fit then just make
the column widths narrow enough so that the scrollbar doesn't appear.

Narrowing the column widths forces the horizontal scroll bar to appear -
just curious if there was a way to suppress it.
