A dialog box procedure can send messages to a list box to add, delete,
examine, and change list box items. For example, a dialog box procedure could send an LB_ADDSTRING message to a list box to add an item, and an LB_GETSEL message to determine whether the item is selected. Other messages set and
retrieve information about the size, appearance, and behavior of the list box. For
example, the LB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT message sets the scrollable width of a list box. A dialog box procedure can
send any message to a list box by using the SendMessage or SendDlgItemMessage function.

Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native.
