I'd use a GRID or ListView control.
Do you have anything started yet?

NOT Yet, But I will Shortly

Hi, BALAKRISHNA,

I attached the new splitter sample for you. There are only 4 properties in the grid. But that should be enough fo a first look. Although comboboxes are used, you can also imagine they would be editboxes.

And I attach some screenshots with grid samples for properties.
Using the spreadsheet I've mentioned in my mail may have the disadvantage that you'll need to install Excel on the machine you want to run your form, I believe. The OpenDCL grid works on every machine.

Let's build it together. Make a list of textdata you want to add and then will start the project.

Hay BALAKRISHNA,
Have a look at JB's examples:

Check out the Palette example & the Keynotes tab page.
This might be very similar to what you're trying to do...
