= SUMMARY =

There is a documentation error on the last line of Page 8-26 in the “Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Reference Volume 2” version 3.0, which states the following: The default style for LISTBOX is LBS_NOTIFY, WS_VSCROLL, and WS_BORDER. This is incorrect; WS_VSCROLL is NOT a default. If you are using the LISTBOX statement in your resource file, you must specify WS_VSCROLL in the style field or you will not be able to scroll through the items in the list box, even if there are too many items to be displayed at once in the list box.
