etched line look quickly

[Brian Henry]

Is there a quick way to produce an etched line look that microsoft uses to
split up sections (similar to the bottom line of a group box) with out
actually using the GDI commands to draw it as line and another line? i
thought i saw a way in the past but cant find it now... thanks

Are you looking for something similar to 'RoundRect' in GDI API?

I never used it, but have a look at 'System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LineJoin'.

I like the way I found better :) the controlpaint class has a method for
doing it, but thanks!

Hi Brian

The trick of using a label with BorderStyle = Fixed3D and Height = 2 works
in VB.NET.
