custom slide down control

Hi,
I am newbie in win32 programming. I need to build a custom control for
a
news alert desktop application.
The application does the following:
At WM_CREATE downloads an xml file from an web server, save the file
on the
pc, loads the items (from xml) into a static vector<structFeeds>
currentFeeds (title, description, link, etc.) , then populates a
vector<structFeedsalertedFeeds (if any items is to be alerted based
on an element in xml - <read>False or True</read>)
and then opens a dialog box (at WM_TIMER) with the title of the item
alerted
and a button "Read more" (storing the item into a static struct
structFeeds {title, description, link, etc...}). When user
clicks on "Read more" a new dialog box is to be opened, with a list of
all
the titles from the vector. The currrent item will be the first. The
problem:
When the user clicks on a title from the list, the description (of the
item)
have to slide down.

I would appreciate any help, where do I have to start from, any
directions
would be very helpful.

Thanks.

This isn't a C++ language question so you are off-topic in this group.
You need to ask a windows programming group. Some suggestions in the
FAQ

I'd advise starting from comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32. There may
also be a newsgroup devoted to custom controls in the microsoft.public
hierarchy, but I'm not sure. In any case, this particular newsgroup is
devoted strictly to portable C++, and while there's been discussion of
adding at least some GUI capability for portable code, it doesn't exist
yet, and from the sound of things, it probably wouldn't cover what you
need anyway.
