You've quickly exceeded the capabilities of eVB.  eVB does not allow dynamic
control creation, at least not natively.  To compond the problem, since eVB
is interpreted, you have no Address Of operator, so even if you create the
controls with CreateWindow, you have no way of setting the control's
WindowProc, so you have no way of capturing its events.

At this point, you're probably better off writing the app in HTML and
running the entire thing through PIE, but the challenge there is that PIE
doesn't support control creation, so you have no custom controls available.

With all that said, there may still be hope.  A little ingenuity goes a long
way.  If you give a little more info on your requirements, we might be able
to provide suggestions for work arounds.
