delphi-2010

I have a aplication that like firefox, can be enchanced from plugins available from internet.

Now, I want to provide in Delphi (2010) a dialog similar to the download from firefox. I have no skills in build graphical controls.

Using the standard controls of Delphi, what could be the best way... using a TListView/TStringGrid with custom draw or...

The idea is show a icon in the left, a title with subtitle with 1-3 lines on the middle and date/version on the rigth. That row must be selectable and that is all.
