I have created a Window and then, created 50 buttons on this Window but I can only see 10 buttons on my window. Rest are out of view since I am not able to scroll the window down.

I have added auto scroll to window by adding

WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL | ES_AUTOVSCROLL | ES_AUTOHSCROLL

to Window Style parameter of CreateWindowEx function. By doing this, I can see a scroll on the window but this scroll is not movable.

What is the possible and simple solution to add a auto scroll to window in order to see all the 50 buttons in such a situation.

The phrase "auto scroll" does not make sense in this context. It is not clear if you are doing this with a dialog or a form. If it is a dialog, there is no scrolling. If a form, then scrolling is built in (actually you have to do a few things to remove it). It sounds like you are implementing this on a dialog. You likely need to change your basic application type. It would likely be easier to scrub your code and start over, creating a standard application with a form interface.
