divider on windows form?

[Tarren]

Hi:

How would I place a divider on the form where it looks chiseled and thin
line - they are everywhere in Windows Apps, but cannot find the control to
put on the form.

Thanks

Hi,

Take a look at the Splitterbar

Have a look at the toolbox, there is a Splitter control available. You
will have to dock the other containers to this control.

Tarren,
Do you want a visible divider, like the VB6 line control?

Or do you want a movable divider like the divider between the Folder Tree &
File List on Windows Explorer?

For the later see the Splitter control the others suggested.

For the former see the following articles:

I remember an article on using the Windows "STATIC" control to draw the
line, however I am not finding a link right now.

Hope this helps
Jay

Hi Tarren,

Because you say that you see that you see them everywhere in windows, I have
an other answer than the others.

Do you mean the groupbox?

You can drag it on a form and than just drag your other controls in it.
Keep in mind that the groupbox is than the parent of the controls you have
dragged in it.

You can use a label control with width or height set to 2, and
'BorderStyle' set to 'Fixed3D' to create an inset line.

Herfried,
The article I'm thinking of actually created a Win32 Line (it did not rely
on the width & height trick).

Basically they applied with Win32 style of SS_ETCHEDHORZ to the Win32 Window
Handle to get a horizontal etched line.

Basically using one of the following:

I thought it was an MSDN Magazine article, however I'm not finding it right
now. I'll see if I can find the link...

Thanks
Jay

Interesting, but a lot of work for a little line ;-).

I believe, but I wanted to post an alternative solution :-). Thanks for
the links!

Thanks all - that article looked quite a bit of work - I think I will use
the label box solution for this app I am working on and will bookmark the
article for the next one. :)
