Answer 1

Hi Lpiernik,

Try something below:

#tresc {
            width: 900px;
            columns: auto;
            column-width: 400px;
            column-gap: 5em;
            height: 45%;
            -ms-overflow-style:scrollbar;
            overflow:scroll;
	    overflow-y:hidden;
        }

Answer 2

That is not what I want to get.

I can't upload screenshots:/ Something like in dobreprogramy application.

If there is long txt make 2 or even five columns on the entire screen with horrizontal scrolling

You mean the third image of this app screenshot: http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/dobreprogramy/9b3226c2-c2c4-48b7-955b-6a611ec94922 ?

It is a Hub control, see this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn255137.aspx

Is this what you mean?
