This can't be answered in short. You may have a look on the sources of CListCtrl derived classes using owner draw. They usually add edit fields, check buttons, and combo boxes to cells.

See the CP article CGridListCtrlEx - Grid Control Based on CListCtrl[^] which also contains links to other articles.

Thanks for your answer! I'm a novice programmer. The article you recommend is really an huge project. Could you show me some articles less complicated?

See the links to the other articles on top. Some may be smaller. However, implementing owner draw for Windows controls is an advanced topic that can't be handled by a few lines of code.

A simple example to change the background color of list cells can be found at http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/controls/listview/backgroundcolorandimage/article.php/c4181/. In that example you may add drawing of a dynamically created button for specific cells inside the last case statement and return CDRF_SKIPDEFAULT to suppress the default drawing of the cell.
