>I would like to create a display on a form that has a layout and functionality similar to Outlook. I want to have a tree-view on the left (Navigation pane) showing folder & subfolders on the hard drive. The top right pane shows the files in the folder selected in the treeview. The bottom right pane shows the content of the file selected in the top right window.

>The files can be of any type, e.g. txt, jpg, pdf, Word document, Excel, etc.
