You'll probably want to use the ListBox, which has a MultiSelect property. To determin which Items are selected, you can use the Selected array property (List.Selected(1) will return .T. if the first item is one of the selected ones).

List boxes also have a MoverBars property, but it will only move one object at a time. If you want to move multiple, you'll probably have to code it yourslef. Whats an example of a program that moves multilpe items at a time?
