I am trying to develop a quick links panel like in windows explorer. I may be using a wrong name for that control, so i have attached the screen shot. Before developing a custom control, I did a research on the existing controls and couldn't find a control like that. I am not convinced, hence this control is used over a decade and still not available in visual studio forms developement. May be this is included in WPF. But is there alternative for windows forms.

The control is called an Expander in WPF. There is no equivalent in Windows Forms though.

If you want to implement one yourself, have a look at this control, it seems to be just like what you are looking for. Maybe you can take it as a base and modify it.
