Adding horizontal scrollbar to CStatic control

Hi.

I am currently modifying an MFC application that has a static text control associated with a custom class (derived from CStatic) into which are drawn several buttons in a pyramid structure. I need to modify the application to add more buttons to the structure but this results in the additional buttons being drawn outside the edges of the static control.

I need to add a horizontal scrollbar to the static control so the User can view the additional controls but I've not been able to figure this out. I have tried converting the static control to a multiline edit control (CEdit) and enabling the scrollbar property but this seems to ignore the controls and only displays the scrollbar when actual text is added to the control, which is not what I want.

Can anyone advise me how to enable scrolling of the static control so the whole view can be seen by the user?

Note that I tried to attach a screenshot to this question to show the application but I can't figure out how to do this!
