[WindowsForms] Horizontal Line

[Guest]

Does anybody know how i can put a horizontal line into my forms? i need one
to create a simple "below the line" to seperate my sumup textbox from the
other input-textboxes (like you know it from common calculations). I tried to
add a label with underlines ________, but doesn't look very pretty.

Anybody an idea?

by the way, i'm using VC++ 2005 Express Edition...

Here is my suggestion.

Use Window's CharacterMap with the same font as your dialog use.
You could look in your resource file for that purpose.

"MS Dialog" is a good candidate for a unicode dialog.
The character 0xAF looks OK (reverse undersore).
Other characters may be good as well.
Like Arial unicode 0x2550 (Double lines) or 0x2014 (line centered).

TCHAR szLine[BUF_SIZE];

for(int i=0; i < BUF_SIZE; i++)
szLine = 0xAF;

szLine[BUF_SIZE-1] = 0;


That's it !
