I don't know what it is called but I tried to describe it below.

I would like to setup something like pivot tables that is a director listing
and to select folders and then show files with a + or - sign like when
selecting a folder.

Hi Ian,

That sounds like a TreeView control. But if you want to view and
manipulate folders and files, why not just use Windows Explorer?

No I don't want to view I need to manipulate the files within the folders to
transfer to different folders

The TreeView control is designed to let you you create a hierarchical,
expandable/collapsible view of objects/data/information. AFAIK Windows
Explorer is based on TreeView controls. With sufficient programming you
can manipulate them any way you like.

But if you want to manipulate folders and files, can you explain what
you need to do that can't be done in Windows Explorer?
