Is it possible to do a dialog bar with the Win API? I can't find anything searcing the web. I've done dialog bars in MFC, but never did any with the API.

I have a suite of ancient Win API programs dating back to at least Windows 2.0 that I am maintaining. It's been updated to Win32, but most of the code is original. One program has a sort of dialog bar kind of thing on the side that is ancient. The comments on the code supporting this said it was rewritten in 1988. The most recent comment is from 1989.

We're running into some problems with the display and I need to make some changes. There is something akin to a spin control that takes some unusual chain and link structure. I've never seen anything like this, but it appears to be something from the early days of Windows that has been carried along all this time.

If it was possible to replace this display piece with a dialog bar, I could use the features from the modern controls and could trash the reams of code supporting these ancient controls.

I just can't find anything on dialog bars that doesn't also refer to doing them in MFC. Are they called something else in the API world, or is it just not possible?
