I do not think so, when in the early hood of visual C in 1990's, before C++ and C# is available, we can already edit dialog resources by adding system defined controls like BUTTON, EDIT or Combo, etc.,
I have a book published in 1993, the English name is "The Complete Reference to Windows Application Development", written by James W. McCord, in one resource edit example, it can be like this:

MainDialog DIALOG 6, 18, 160, 100
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "Data Transfer"
FONT 8, "HELV"
BEGIN
...
...
...
CONTROL "TYPEA", 101, "Button", BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON, 5, 29, 39, 10
...
...
...
END

So many years passed, but the resource file style is still the same, what I need is to create my own control which can be added to resource file as in above resource editor, I believe if my control can be added by this way, it is not a problem to put it into the tool box

as Microsoft C++ is presented in 1992, the book with above information is published in 1993 while Visual C is already fully matured, this book is for windows C programming not C++.

with above, I believe C++ or C# is not necessary to develop the standard windows control in toolbox
