Where'd the line control go?

[nahya^^]

I don't see any line controls...
How would I draw a line without using a code?

You can use the label control. Set the width to 2 and set the borderstyle to single, then make the lenght whatever you want.

[nahya^^]

That's a funny way to do it
So there isn't a way to use a color for that "line" or change the width of the line?

[DevGrp]

Well there are other ways. You can use GDI+ to draw the line on the form, but you'll have to use code. If you do it that way, you can change width and color. The label control does'nt give you much options, but it works

Of course, you could always use an image. Once again it's not exactly the same, but it's possible.

And then there is always my sneeky way:

With Label5
    .AutoSize = True
    .Text = "___________"
    .ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red
End With

So if I want to draw a line diagonally, I'll have to use the GDI+ thing? (Of course, I could always use bunch of /'s. )

Here you go, try something like this to get your line:

Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Paint
        Dim gr As Graphics
        Dim pen As Pen
        pen = New Pen(System.Drawing.Color.Black)
        pen.Width = 5
        gr = e.Graphics
        gr.DrawLine(pen, 10, 10, 200, 200)
    End Sub

In my programs it turned into a 1 pixel high Panel.
