Border on generic Control or Panel?

[Wade]

Okay ... I'm frustrated. I can create a backcolor for a control or panel,
but I can't create a border. How can I do this?

The only way I've found is to stack on panel over another, with the back
panel set to black and slighly bigger than the panel that sits on it, which
is set to white.

Help? Thanks!

Nevermind ... found a great solution -- thanks chris-s.

public class IFrame : System.Windows.Forms.Panel
{
private BorderStyle _BorderStyle;

public IFrame()
{
_BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
}

public BorderStyle BStyle
{
get { return this._BorderStyle; }
set { this._BorderStyle = value; Invalidate(); }
}

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs pea)
{
base.OnPaint(pea);

using (Pen pe = new Pen(Color.Black))
{
switch (this.BStyle)
{
case BorderStyle.FixedSingle:

pea.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pe, 0, 0, this.Width - 1,
this.Height - 1);
break;

case BorderStyle.Fixed3D:

pea.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pe,
this.ClientRectangle);
break;

case BorderStyle.None:

break;
}
}
}

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
}
