Take a look at this article[^], probably it will give you some advice on how to do that...

Hope this helps.
In the DrawItem() function you may find the below code

pDC->DrawFrameControl(&rect, DFC_BUTTON, DFCS_BUTTONRADIO | (sel?DFCS_CHECKED:0));

just change this to

pDC->DrawFrameControl(&rect, DFC_BUTTON, DFCS_BUTTONPUSH | (sel?DFCS_CHECKED:0));

The suggested solution above merely (owner)draws a radio button. It does not create a CButton object and make it a CListBox menu item. Big difference. The OP wanted a real CButton control to be the menu items.

Thank you! The OP was desperately waiting for an answer to the question.
Finally, after just 11 years there is a solution. Let's hope the OP is still alive...

Sorry to disappoint, but my reply was no answer. That said, I am working on an answer because I need this capability for the MFC platform I am developing.

If more motivation is needed for this task, I point the readers to Windows 11's absolutely gorgeous Settings control. It implements presumably an in-house advanced CListBox control whose items are CButtons with drop-down or slide-off button arrows. The control is so advanced, added buttons move other surrounding controls out of the way. The result is astounding control of complex user data with efficient access and change capability. Nice work Microsoft.
