Where oh where has my shape box gone?

[Anjari]

I know that the shape control is no longer available in .net... will someone with patience explain to me where I go from here?

What I want to do is:

In most forms you have the common divider lines:

(Gray line with a white line right under it)

an example of which can be seen on most menus... I use this design ALOT on my forms as a divider also I use basic box shapes as well on my forms...

Someone please with patience explain to a Intermediate programmer where do i go from here in vb .net?

Thank you,

Anjari

Well, If you don't find anything else or don't get a better answer..... you can always create 2 graphics with the drawline method.

You can also delete the text from a groupbox and shrink it up to look like that.

Use a Panel?

Not sure how a panel shrunk to 2 pixels high looks, but you could use 2 panels each 1 pixel high with appropriate BackColors.

i think gdi is the best way to go
