 Controls Similar To Microsoft Windows Explorer

I've been searching for a very long time but without luck.

Can anyone tell me how to get/create the file list controls similar to those in
Microsoft Explorer? In other words, in Microsoft Explorer, there are columns
that divide the details (in detail view) of the files like size, filename,
type, modified...And when u click on the control, it can sort the list in the
order of the selected column. It's almost like a column/grid divider that can
change easily in width size with a mouse. Plus the columns can be moved by
dragging it to wherever u want.

I know this control is common, 'cause it's used in almost every popular
application (not just Windows Explorer) and I would like to use it for other
purposes not just restricted to file listing.

Please help, thanx.

Usally, progammers make their onw "Explorer" style program, using Tree View
control and List View control.You can use VB's application wizard to create
a VB project, which creates an "Explorer" style skeleton program. Then you
populate the tree view and list view with your own data.

I doudt there is such a control available (maybe I am wrong), 'cause there
could be too many properties to set to make it fits a practical use.
