How to. create that (dunno what it is called) looks like a form splitter dunno.. click for more details

If you run explorer and click show the folders.
the explorer display split in two
the left window displays the folders, while the right windows displays the files

I like to create that in delphi but i dont know how or where to start.

Please guide me how to create that. a hello world sample perhaps
Hello on left window and world on the right window. at the same time it can be resize.
