hi Nersin ! - no, not for the four buttons ! - for THE TWO LISTS AND THE FOUR BUTTONS BETWEEN THEM FOR MOVING ITEMS BETWEEN THE LISTS - please see the picture - I am pretty sure that there is a common name for such contriol because this control element is rather wide-spread in programming
Nesrin Aug 7, 2006:
Are you looking for a collective name for the four buttons in that specific context?

neutral Can Altinbay : You have a point, but as your reference makes clear, this is not a control. It is two lists and 4 buttons that work together to provide a function.

Add-and-remove idiom

Can that be it? Check here: http://java.sun.com/products/jlf/at/book/Idioms6.html

Add-and-Remove Idiom

To enable users to choose a subset from a large list of objects, you can provide the Add-and-Remove idiom. This idiom consists of two lists separated by a command button row, as shown in Figure 59.

(Figure 59)

The list on the left, called the original list, contains a set of objects that users can add to the list on the right--the chosen list. The command buttons enable users to control which items appear in the chosen list. In Figure 59:

* The original list is labeled "People to Choose From."
* The chosen list is labeled "Project Assignments."
