AliR,
What you suggested will work had I handled the message in
OnInitialUpdate of CFormView?
But I wanted to add items on th efly as I said above.
Does anybody came across such situations ?
As the main problem looks the the second handle remains NULL and once
if I get I will be able to add successfully.

Tom:

The way Windows controls work is they send notifications to the parent.
Normally the messages are handled by the parent. You do not need a
derived control to do this. To handle in the control you have to use MFC
message reflection. This is what you did, presumably. This is OK, but it
creates problems if teh handler needs to manipulate other controls, as
you have noticed.

I don't understand what you mean by "had I handled the message in
OnInitialUpdate." You need a separate handler for clicking in the first
control.

There is really nothing wrong with handling all the messages in the
CFormView, and it would be much simpler in this case.
