You could use a two ListBoxes in a Columns if you want two separate 
scrolling areas.

If you want the lists to scroll together but be independently selectable 
you can make each "side" of the ListBox rows a selectable widget and 
move the AttrWrap that highlights the selected item into the Columns.

I hope that makes sense, I've spent too much time working on other 
projects recently.
