Simple Question

[Jotoya]

Hi,

I know this is probably a silly question but I just can't seem to figure this one out:

How do I go about adding "Lines" in a user form. I find myself sometimes needing just one of the lines that a "Frame" uses but I can't seem to figure out how. Does the toolbox offer a line drawing button to separate controls instead of having to use a full frame? Thank you so much.

You can use a Label control. Set the Back Color property to Black and set the height to 1

Hi Jose,
I don't know the "real" way to do this, but what works for me is to add a Listbox where you want your line to be. If you want it to have an "engraved" or sunken type look, set the height properties to 2 or 3.
If you just want a thin black line, set the height properties to 1.

Kinda a stupid way to go about it I guess, but it works.

Edit:
According to btadams, I guess this is close to the "real" way to go afterall.

Hey Smitty, What's the haps?
Actually the listbox is the method I use (instead of the label) because I like the cool "engraved" look for the lines in my forms.
I just didn't realize anybody else was using the same concept!
Good to know I'm not the only one that thinks like I do.
(Is there a more conventional way to put lines in a form???)

Also, (sorry...off the subject), but I liked your environmorons post!
