.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / January 2005where is the Line Control ?
hi again :) in VB6 i use the Line to Draw Lines Like when i make Wizard Forms. but in VB.NET i cant find this Control...... it's realy not important Control but nice to make GUI like 3D Lines please tell me where the line Control in VB.NET???  Signature------------------------------------------------ Best Regards From Tark The Line control is gone from VB.NET, as is the Shape control. Under .NET, you have to draw them yourself using Graphics methods. If you're looking for 3D lines, then an alternative might be the ControlPaint class. That has methods for drawing 3D borders of rectangles, and you can specify which side(s) to draw, so you can simulate 3D lines like you see in wizard forms by only drawing one side of the rectangle.

Hi, A quick workaround for this is to use the GroupBox control by setting it's Text to null and Height to 2.

There is no line control any more. See (complete discussion): <URL:http://www.google.de/groups?threadm=eV5alMTMEHA.624%40TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl> SignatureM S Herfried K. Wagner M V P <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/> V B <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/dotnet/faqs/ Actually don't use the Groupbox control. It's a container control and has a window be default and thus eats resources for no reason. Use the label control to accomplish the same thing with way less resources. > hi again :) > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > please tell me where the line Control in VB.NET??? Wholly smokes.... look at this crosspost list!... anyway, Labels or Frames (aka "GroupBox" (sheesh) controls) are fine as long as you're only drawing Horizontal or Vertical lines.

Download free Line .NET Control: http://rustemsoft.com/images/LineControl.zip When a beginner who has VB6 experience first time opens .NET and just going about making a form up he/she could notice there is no Line in the .NET toolbox. What happened, where did it go? There is a difference from VB6 forms that Windows Forms .NET does not support the Line control. The Line class is based on System.Drawing namespace that provides access to GDI+ basic graphics functionality. A Line control is a graphical control that displays a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal one-pixel-wide line that can't be changed directly. The Line control can be changed dynamically at run time. The control class Line that is implemented in both languages (VB.Net and C#) is derived from System.Windows.Forms.Control. It overrides the OnPaint method to draw itself. The class will draw the line depending on its properties. Line controls can be displayed on forms, in picture boxes, and in another visual controls. You can move or resize your Line object by altering its X_Left, X_Right, Y_Left, and Y_Right properties. Also you can setup its Color property.
