NH> AM>   One of my dialog contains a lot of buttons.

   It sounds like a perfect place to use a hierarchy.
   In an MFC app, assuming that there are logical subsets
   to all these buttons, I would implement property sheets.
   This is similar to a menu with popups for each subgroup.
   If possible, breaking things down into easily managed
   groups would be preferable, usually. It's much simpler
   for the user to find what they want that way, assuming
   that there are reasonable titles for each subset. :)
