Horizontal Scrolling with a CListCtrl

I have a CListCtrl, which has one column that holds strings. The list
auto-vertically scrolls just fine but when strings are longer then the
viewable area it adds ellipses on and doesn't auto scroll horizontally. I
want it to instead scroll horizontally so long strings can be read. I have
'no column header' set to true because I don't want it showing. The methods
I've tried using to get it to work are

m_ListCtrl.EnableScrollBarCtrl(SB_HORZ);
m_ListCtrl.ShowScrollBar(SB_HORZ);
m_ListCtrl.SetScrollRange(SB_HORZ, 0, 300);

Thanks for your help.

I believe that you will have to increase the column header size in order to
achieve the effect you want.

That did the trick. I had tried that before but hadn't made it wide enough.
Thanks.
