Maybe you should consider using the Rebar control[^]

Documentation seem to say the number of buttons is the default size of the toolbar section of the rebar. Kindly correct me if I am wrong. Is the rebar control guaranteed to be of a row length?

Sorry, it is a long time since I used arebar. You will need to do some tests of your own.
