dotnet windows forms
group:Basic Separator Line Control
dotnet windows forms:
Hello,
I finally have to breakdown and ask..... Is there a basic "Separating Line" control or "Bevel Line" control. It appears as a simple 3D line. I'd like to know if there is such a control or will I have to create my own line control? Examples: (Observe lines on these screen) 1) Use any generic file, Right-click file --> Properties --> General Tab 2) Open any Setup Wizard, observe line appearing between buttons wizard content. Thank you
I use a label with height = 1. Or you can draw a line if you really just
want a line. Or are you talking about a separator on a menu?

Are you talking about a line, to go on a form, or a separator to go between

Oh my goodness....
That's so cheesy, but it works!!! Yes, I was inquiring about a basic line, not the splitter control. That you all for your quick responses. It helps dull the pain of renewing my MSDN subscription. Not to mention I can now add several dozen badly needed/required line separators. Thanks again! PS: I'm curious to know if this technique will hold up under Windows Vista.

I would point out that these answers were free, you could have gotten them
w/o an MSDN subscription. :-) We're not MSFT employees. I don't see any reason this wouldn't work under Vista.

Rationalizing.... No..no....that's not true. I wouldn't have gotten a fast response without a MSDN Subscription. My subscription is critical to my success as a developer. Do not kill my joy.... [quoted text, click to view] "RobinS" wrote:

Well, you know, if you want to have an MSDN subscription, and it makes you
feel better and is helpful to you, then you should have it.

I'm happier and feel tingly all over. Yeah...it's definitely working for me. But back on the subject of software.... Granted, it's easy enough to use a Label to create a line, but I don't understand why MS doesn't create a dedicated control for something so common. I would think they would create one just to help keep things nice and tidy. Thinking out loud..... [quoted text, click to view] "RobinS" wrote:

Well, you could *draw* a line, but then you'd have to figure out exactly where you wanted it. Their reasoning for not including this sort of thing completely escapes me. As frequently as the question comes up in the microsoft.public.dotnet.* newsgroups, it's obviously something that's needed. I'm sure if I worked for Microsoft, I could get them to listen to reason.

"Well, it's good to have *something* that makes you feel that way. Beer
would be cheaper, though. ;-)" True, but Nancy Regan once said, "Just Say No To Drugs [and Beer]" Neither of which is conducive to writing good source code. "....it's obviously something that's needed. I'm sure if I worked for Microsoft, I could get them to listen to reason. Haha!"

"It would if you put XML comments in it. Then you could generate the
documentation." Why thank you O' Wise_One. However, Mr. Slug does know how to auto generate source code documentation. Just because I look goofy doesn't mean I am goofy. :-/ Actually, I'm responsible for user documentation as well. Yes, I bring a whole new meaning to the phrase "One-Stop Shopping." Kudos aren't free! It's not a sin to have good writing skills. Later RobinSsssssss....... :-P [quoted text, click to view] "RobinS" wrote:

Slugboy,
I didn't mean that to sound snotty. Did you know a lot of people don't actually know that? And since I spent quite a bit of Saturday going through and adding XML comments to one of my own projects, it was uppermost in my mind. (I don't understand why I can't add the darn things as I go along. So annoying.) Have fun with your user documentation. Been there, done that.

" I didn't mean that to sound snotty."
It's okay...I wasn't offended in the least. Actually, I enjoy genuine snottiness. It's hard to find high quality snot these days. People try, but it's mostly thin and watered down. It's all about nose shape, humidity, temperature. That's how you get the good stuff. Yes indeed. "I don't understand why I can't add the darn things as I go along." Ugh...sure you can....ugh...just add them as you go along. Sounds like a new thread to me. Muhahahaha...... "Have fun with your user documentation. Been there, done that." Oh now...you can't be that old. :-) Later Robin_Capital_S [quoted text, click to view] "RobinS" wrote:

"But what if I have to change something, remove a procedure, add a new one?"
Well Robin Sykwalker, if you're using XML tags in your code, you should be able to edit your comments. If you're deleting obsolete procedures, wouldn't you want to toss obsolete documentation? (Ponder that grasshopper) You can always just comment out your....well comments. You know you can put your documentation/comments anywhere you want. We're counting on you Robin, don't go "End User" on us! :-P Use the force.....or IBM's Sever Pixy dust. Both will do the trick. "You need to read that in exactly the same tone of voice as Hayden Christensen....." Yeah, that was high-quality whining. Now you're really showing your age. You chose Classic Coke and criticized New Coke. Senator...I knew Anakin Skywalker.... I served with Anakin Skywalker..... I worked with Anakin Skywalker..... Robin.....you're no Anakin Skywalker.....

"I hate to tell you this, but I'm a Pepsi drinker."
(Shoulder shrug) Coke….Pepsi, they both leave a weird aftertaste in your mouth. Go with OJ. “But I do remember when they came out with New Coke.†Confirmed…old as dirt. :-P It’s been a long week and I still got it! “And I refrain from saying, primarily because it was really irritating that troll, AaronKempf, who kept trying to bait me.†Ugh....you do realize that "Aaron" is gender neutral too right? Just savoring the irony. Actually, I’m quite alright with life’s ambiguities. In my book, everyone is a “Pat†in our wonderful little online world we’ve created. “PS: Your name is gender-neutral so I can use boy or girl jabs anytime I want. :-)†Believe it or not, I wasn’t baiting you. I’m far too subtle for that anyway. :-P I’m just relieved that I have another source of new material. Ambiguity opens many doors for new puns. Ponder the possibilities. Really, I’m just glad I didn’t have to resort to my B-Grade material. Not pretty. A few more replies and my stuff was gonna get really thin. Yep...real thin. I’m good for another 6, 7, maybe 8 more replies. Phew….. “Robin S., Ts'i mahnu uterna ot twan ot geifur hingts uto.†What? What the heck is that? Boy Wonder, what are you up to?

Hello, DigitalSlugBoy,
[quoted text, click to view] > Ugh....you do realize that "Aaron" is gender neutral too right? Just > savoring the irony. Well, sort of. When it's a woman, it's usually spelled Erin. And Aaron is a nutcase. He mostly posts to microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb, and he's abusive and obnoxious. Apparently he can't deal with learning .Net, so he's trying to terrorize the rest of us (and Microsoft) into reverting to VB6. ROFL. [quoted text, click to view] > Believe it or not, I wasn't baiting you.

Yes, I know about the TabPage.Visible property. (Do not waste > snot) > That property isn't working. I've seen this question before. I believe you have to remove the tab, and then when you want it back, add it back in. It's annoying. You might try using panels. I saw a keen UI design where down the left side of the screen, it has bunch of icons, and as you selected each one, the whole right side of the screen changed. They did that by putting all of the controls for each option in a panel. When you select one, it makes all of the panels invisible, and then visibles the one you want to see. Quite slick, I must admit. [quoted text, click to view] > RobinS of Arcadia, That show (Joan of A) was cancelled, and just when it was getting interesting...

Hey Robin Shortz (spawn of Will Shortz)
“Well, sort of. When it's a woman, it's usually spelled Erin.†Tomato…Tomatoe… I’ll have to apologize, between the time change and “wrapping up a module†I didn’t get any sleep.

[quoted text, click to view] > I'll have to apologize, between the time change and "wrapping up a > module" I > didn't get any sleep. So I'm al little off my game. For me, it's just the time change killing me. I want my damn hour back. [quoted text, click to view] > Honestly, I'm waiting for the return of BetaMax. It's gonna make a > comeback > in a big way. You'll see. I'll show you. Oh, dear. I actually *owned* a BetaMax. I don't even want to *talk* about how much I paid for it. That's why I won't buy either BluRay or HD DVD until they decide which one is going to win the war. I'm afraid whichever side I pick will lose. (Too bad I can't market that kind of karma.) Anyway, I learned my lesson. [quoted text, click to view] > Ugh yeah...you are in no way under the influence. How do you know I'm not > using mind-control powers as we speak? Hhhmmmm..egh?
