Custom DCL Design using ListView DataGridView etc. using AutoLISP

The Toolbox for DCL creation uses basic controls eg edit_box etc. AutoCad Electrical utilises more advanced controls such as List Views, Tabs Sheets etc. Is there a way to harness these controls in our own LISP routines without the use of external libraries? Below is an example of a Dialog I would like to produce using DCL with AutoLisp

 

Thanks in Advance

@mark.electricaldesign ,

 

THIS source says No, but you can try OpenDCL.

THIS source appears that @Sea-Haven  has already been here and answered the same question similarly.

THIS source gives a mention by Lee Mac that it could be done with an 'image_button' tile but would take a large amount of work (which most likely won't be worth the hassle) (which is what I assume sea.haven means when he says it would be a lot of work).

 

So it's definitely beginning to appear that another approach would be worth a shot here. Sea.Haven brings a valid solution to the table IMO..

 

Best,
