That is the Windows Add/Remove programs dialog, you can launch it:

‘Launch Windows Add/Remove Programs Dialog
Dim dblReturn As Double
dblReturn = Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dllControl_RunDLL appwiz.cpl1" 5)

Not sure if there is a control like it available in VB6 though.

Edit:

Fixed the above code!

If you are talking about the control used in the add remove programs to display the list then that looks like maybe a ListView control. But I think it could be done with a grid control or it could possibly even be HTML. No way to tell for sure that I know of.

I'm pretty sure it's HTML, because the Add/Remove-Panel is one of the reasons you cannot de-install Internet-Explorer.
Well, at least i think to remember reading this somewhere.

I seriously doubt there is any HTML involved. It is probably a customized ListView-like control.

In modern versions of Windows they've switched to using a regular Win32 ListView control.

hey guys, i recently find out how to make list like i've posted above..on vb6 we can use Xtre*e S*ite Pro ActiveX, itu support XAML and not require .Net..!

The closest thing I can find using standard VB6 controls is some careful use of the DataRepeater control.

Using this, you can vary the active RepeatedControl in several ways, such as changing colors, font sizes, repositioning controls, making some visible or invisible, etc. However I can't find any way to have the active RepeatedControl have a different size from that of the inactive images the DataRepeater displays.

I also see that using a Common Controls 6.0 manifest to apply the uxTheme results in some controls having a backdrop color other than that of the background they are sited on. I'm not sure if that's white, or the system ButtonFace color or what. But I do know that changing the backdrop for the inactive state to something weird like orange still gets a light-colored, close to white backdrop area around the buttion.

Weird.

I still say it has to do with HTML, which also this link implies:

The easily way to know a control is using Spy++ or similar tool.

You may have a point.
