Checkboxes in a combobox popup

[Werner Lehmann]

Never mind. I tried to cut some corners reusing a combobox for a 
"checkbox list popup" but this got too complicated. I am using a 
ComboBoxBase extending class now.

Unfortunately it is still quite hard to determine a useful listview size 
for the popup. The original combobox uses package private stuff and hard 
casts on the listview's virtual flow. Obviously I cannot do this.

Any idea how I can get rid of the horizontal scrollbar on the listview? 
Is there trick how to size the cells so that they always get the 
available horizontal space - but not more?
