What do you call this interface control.

You have 2 lists, one of the lists acts as your pool and the other as your current values. Tends to look like this

[1    ]               [1     ]
[2    ]     Add>>     [2     ]
[3    ]   Add All>>   [      ]
[4    ]    <Remove    [      ]
[5    ] <<Remove All  [      ]
[6    ]               [      ]

The source list does not change regardless of the operations.

Thank you very much.

I suggest to call control where you move items between lists: Ping Pong, and this one: Ping Pong against a wall

I've seen this called LeftRightMultiSelect, or something like that, before.

Exactly what I was thinking - although unlike the described control, Font/DA Mover was able to affect both lists.

It is called a Collector according to Alan Cooper in About Face. Sari Laasko says Double List in her gallery

Its probably called different things in different environments. In struts2 there is a UI widget called a optiontransferselect that does what you describe. I'm sure the same thing is called by a different name in a desktop environment.
