I have a question and I am sure it is something very small. I am wondering if someone can help me. I am trying to create a Scrolled Listbox (initial width 25) and once options are populated in the Listbox the width of the Listbox will change based on the widest option. I know if you set width to 0 my Listbox will be resized to the widest option (expected behavior), but this is not working :-\ 

# Create a frame ...
my $suite_fr = $page->Frame->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => 'both');

# Add a label to the frame
$suite_fr->Label(-text => 'Suite:')->pack(-side => 'left');

# create a Scrolled Listbox
$self->{suite_lb} = $suite_fr->Scrolled('Listbox',
    -exportselection  => '0',
    -width          => '25',
    -height           => '7',            
    -scrollbars       => 'e',
    -selectbackground => 'gray80',
    -selectforeground => 'black',                -selectmode       => 
+'extended'
)->pack(-side => 'left');

# A user will then click the submit buttom and be redirected to anothe
+r method with the code listed below ..

# Populate the ListBox with the valid suites
$self->{suite_lb}->insert(0, @list);

# Retrieve the Listbox subwidget that is part of Scrolled
my $lb_subwidget = $self->{suite_lb}->Subwidget("listbox");
    
# Change the size of the Listbox
$lb_subwidget->configure(-width => '0');

However, this does not work. If I create a plan Listbox then I can resize it using configure() but, there is something different about using the Scrolled method that is different. Please help !
