I'm looking for a simple line control to put on a form to break up UI
components. I don't want to use a GroupBox, but I need something to seperate
a few buttons from the rest of the form. If I was using HTML, I'd use a
simple <HR> tag. Is there a lightweight control that will do the job? I've
been using a plain UserControl and setting its BackColor =
System.Drawing.SystemColors.ControlDark and its Height = 1 (lineThickness)
and it's Width = lineLength. It gets a little messy though using a control
that's resizable in both directions within the screen designer and managing
to keep the line thickness fixed when you're dragging it around to change
the length.

Can anyone recommend a simpler existing control for this purpose? I'm hoping
for a pre-made control in the .Net framework.

If I do stick with a UserControl or derived class, is there a way to tell
the screen designer not to allow the thickness (height) to change while
allowing the length (width) to be dragged and still allowing the thickness
(height) to be set in the property editor

Thanks,
Dave
