The new common custom controls were introduced from MFC 4.0 onwards. The code
for these new controls is implemented in the Windows COMCTL32.DLL file. When
your program initializes a dialog, it uses a symbolic class name in the dialog
resource to connect to the window procedure in the DLL.

A progress control bar is a window that an application uses to
indicate the progress of a lengthy operation. It consists of a rectangle that is
gradually filled from left to right with the system highlight color as an
operation is in progresses.
A slider control, also known as a trackbar, contains a slider that the
user moves with either the mouse or the direction keys. The control sends
notification messages indicating the change. Slider controls can be used to
select a discrete value or a set of consecutive values in a range.
A spin button control is a pair of arrow buttons that the user can click
to increment or decrement a value; it is also referred to as an “up-down”
control. The current position value can be displayed in a companion window. A
spin button control is most often used with a companion control, called a buddy
window.
A list view control displays a collection of items each consisting of an
icon and a label.
A tree view control is a window that displays a hierarchical list of
items. Each item consists of a label and an optional bitmapped image, and each
item can have a list of subitems associated with it. By clicking an item, the
user can expand and collapse the associated list of subitems.
