I did it yesterday. I used ListView. It worked quite nicely except that ListView doesn't have themed look.
However, my manager suggested to switch to grid's interface. He doesn't care about nice files icons and file type, since we're using just one type of the files dat. But for my own satisfaction I'd like to make the interface to resemble Windows Explorer, therefore I need to show file's icons.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
