Back in VB4 there was a line tool in my toolbox that allowed me to put a
decorative line on the form somewhere. Does VB.net 2003 offer this?
It's not in the toolbox and I can't find it in the list to add to the
toolbox.

use a 1 pixel high label (horizontal line) or 1 pixel wide label (vertical
line)

I might do that, but I might use GDI graphics. It just seems overly
complicated to use GDI graphics for 1 horizontal line. I'm thinking
I'll need to put it in the form paint event too. I wonder which way
requires the least resources from the pc, a label 1 pixel high or a gdi
graphic generated line?

cj,
I would take the advice from guy, using GDI makes it slow.

Guy's advice looks and works nice. It's a shame we have to fool VB into
making a line using a label. I've been reading and GDI seems to be the
way they want us to make lines now.

I am glad you write that, I had already written this is a little bit other
way somewhere else.

How so? I see adding a label to the form would be slower because the label
uses GDI to draw all 4 borders, while using GDI, you just draw one line...
Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)
MyBase.OnPaint( e)
e.Graphics.Draw Line(Me.ForeCol or, 100, 100, 300, 100)
End Sub
Code not tested :)
HTH,

Mythran,
How about giving me that line in a manner that can be pasted into
Form1_Load or Form1_Paint event? I'd like to play with it.

Hi Folk
I am wondering if it is possible to put a form in the middle of the screen.
That is, my form is about 20cms wide by 11 cms high, but my screen is much
wider and higher, so I was wondering if it possible to put it in the middle
of my screen.
Any ideas?

how do i stop this from happening? is there a way to intercept the

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
