Hi,

how can i realize splitters like in Outlook 2007? (Inverted Colors of its
background)
I tried to draw directly to screen Screen hDC with BitBlt or
Graphics.DrawImage and inverting its colors.
It works - but flickers and is very hard to handle (mouse positions, much
code etc.)
There must be an easier way... (inherit splitter of framework 2.0 for
example)

Thanks

Stefan

The only way to do the inverted colours is to use GDI by interop. GDI+
doesn't support it.
