How to draw horizontal line in dialog

[CoolASL]

Hi, I wish to draw a horizontal line in a dialog to delimit two sets of controls. But i cannot find any such thing on the tools panel. Can anyone please help me out with that ? Thanks in advance.

What I do generally (but maybe it's not the cleanest solution) is to put a picture control and reduce its vertical size to the minimum. Then I open the property dialog (right click on the control -> property) and I modify the style to be sunken. Like that you have a nice line.

You can also do this:

HDC hdc=::GetDC (m_hWnd);
::MoveToEx (hdc,10,10,NULL);
::LineTo (hdc,100,10);
::ReleaseDC (m_hWnd,hdc);

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

Hi, You better use group control you can group the set of controls with this.

When you insert picture control in your dialog then in property window set parameter Type->Etched Horz
