Solution 1

In both cases, you use a standard list box and make is a child control of the toolbar control. In both cases, it can be based, for example, on Windows API SetParent:

There is a lot more related to it: how to define window class for a window object, create a window and obtain its handle, etc. You really need to learn now Windows API works.

Thanks a lot, but am not a baby coder.
I know all those basic. Once again. thanks.

Of course you are not a baby coder. You are worse than that, sorry to say so. Still hope you can change your approaches.
Good luck.

Perhaps you can help me to change my approaches.I suggest you tell me what a baby coder is and what in your own opinion are the right approaches or else I will consider this an insult.If am of the opinion that activities in this forum shd exclude insults.

Certainly, trying to. I just copied the words "baby coder" from yours, don't really want to discuss it — there are no such thing as just "coders", not among people and groups doing successful development. On this particular topic: you get an answer according to your question. If you need really useful help, you need to describe at least the essence of the problem. Describe what did you want to achieve, what's expected behavior, what is observed behavior, why do you feel it's wrong. If you have some exceptions, describe steps to reproduce, complete exception information. Comment the points in code related to exception throwing/propagation. Post all what's relevant.
