// Find the longest string in the list box.
CString str;
CSize   sz;
int     dx=0;
CDC*    pDC = m_myListBox.GetDC();
for (int i=0;i < m_myListBox.GetCount();i++)
{
   m_myListBox.GetText( i, str );
   sz = pDC->GetTextExtent(str);

   if (sz.cx > dx)
      dx = sz.cx;
}
m_myListBox.ReleaseDC(pDC);

// Set the horizontal extent only if the current extent is not large enough.
if (m_myListBox.GetHorizontalExtent() < dx)
