It sounds like a list would be an easier implementation. I would use a
custom draw routine for the list, although maintaining a list of string
pointers for this kind of application wouldn't be too hard either. The
list already handles highlighting and selection for you. The only other
difficulty would be if you wanted a scroll bar rather than the up/down
arrows -- if so, the list becomes a little harder to manage because you
would need to keep in a constant size and adjust your display code to
map list indices into real indices as managed by the scroll bar.
