The proper way to change the listbox width is through SetValues.  Listbox does 
not support dynamic dimension changes.  Therefore, placing listboxes inside 
attached dialog boxes - with attachments to both the left and right side of 
the adb - may, under certain circumstances, lead to the items selectable area 
not spanning the full width of the listbox.  This is because attached dialog 
boxes dynamically resize their children when the adb changes size.

Also note that the proper way to change the listbox height is through the 
ItemsCount attribute.  Modifying the height attribute will not reconfigure
the number of visible items.  Again, in the case of attached dialog boxes,
doubling the listbox height but not modifying the itemsCount will result 
in a lb only half 'full' of items, the remainiong area left blank.


Dynamic resizing will be added to listbox in DECW V3...
