hi. i cant find that little line that allows me to seperate up a form. its just a line, it does nothing, and its only for astethics. can anyont tell me how to get it?
 
no , its not a group box. i remember using one with VB 6. its just a line that you can drag onto the form so as to segment it. i dont want a list box as it adds a bit too much. i thought if the line was in visual studio 6, then it would be in the .NET versions also. thanks anyway
 
The shape controls from VB6 don't exist in .Net, probably since they were lightweight controls (a feature that does not exist in .net), and, although handy, were not indispensable.

Two alternatives:
-A label with a 3-d border style that is two pixels tall to create a 3-d separator
-Implement your own painting code for the form
