Is there a way to manipulate related list from a visualforce page?

Hi,

 

I am looking for a way to access and manipulate the related list of an object directly from a visualforce page. I want to be able to access each object as if it was in an array or a list, and remove or add them. i.e. Related List[1] = Feature X and so on. 

 

For example, let's say I have an object Car with a many-to-many relationship to object Feature.

 

Car A -> Has features : Leather Seat, Xeon Lights, Premium Package.

 

On Car A's page, I would like to pull up a shuttle box that lets me add/remove features on the fly.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks!

This can be achieved using standard out of the box functionality.
For many to many relationship a custom object "Car Features" will be created which will have 2 master-detail relationship fields with Car and Feature objects. The related list of Car Features object will be displayed under Car object from where add,edit,del functionality are already there.

Yes, I have already set up the Junction Object to relate the Car and Features together. I know the add/del/edit buttons exist on the display layout, but I am looking for that same functionality as apex/visualforce commands to be used in the background. Basically I have a custom layout for the Car object, and I would like to be able to directly add/remove features from the related list via commands in the controller. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks again for your help
