Listbox/listctrl with buttons as contents

[Lorey]

Please help

I need to have many buttons inside a tab control. But I have a limited screen size. Im thinking of having a listbox that can be scrolled down and whats inside is a list of buttons, arranged just like a buttons in a telephone. In this way, I can store many buttons inside a listbox that can be scrolled. this saves space. is this possible? please help. I'd be very thankful if you can give me a code done in VC++ MFC,

You can add the buttons in a panel or any container with also a vertical scroll bar. Then you have to set all the buttons' new coordinates (plus a constant offset).

Else,
add a listbox with some items. You should execute some blocks of code depending on which item was double clicked. If you need to use a button; set its text to e.g. "select" and when clicked get the selected index of the listbox and execute same way your code.


Hope this helps.
