Whenever I try to populate many items into the list view, the list view seems to only scroll horizontally, when I want it to scroll vertically.  How can I accomplish this?

[BrewManNH 1,301]

First off, your script won't run as is, there are undeclared variables in there.

Second, $WS_VSCROLL is a window style variable, and not a listview style.

Third, what do you mean when you say you want it to scroll vertically?  Listviews only have scroll bars as the lines/columns get too wide.

[Skysnake 73]

$ListView = GUICtrlCreateListView("DATE|NAME|ORDER", 8, 166, @DesktopWidth * 8.9 / 10, @DesktopHeight * 6.8 / 10, $GUI_SS_DEFAULT_LISTVIEW, $LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT + $LVS_EX_DOUBLEBUFFER + $LVS_EX_TRACKSELECT) ;--$LVS_EX_FLATSB)

This is how I draw mine. And they scroll.  Up and down.
