Create a separator as a menu item

[EwS]

When you create a menu on the form in the Design view, you can right click and select "Insert Separator".
Is there a way to create a separator that will look the same if I create the menu programmatically (maybe using a vb constant)?
This is how I do it right now, but as you can tell, it doesn't look the same:

Dim mnuSeparator As New MenuItem
mnuSeparator.Text = "---------------"
menu.MenuItems.Add(mnuSeparator)

You know how you type a hyphen in a text editor, such as Microsoft Word, and when you hit Enter at the end of the line, it makes the hyphen longer? So I used those hyphens when assigning mnuSeparator.Text property and now at least the separator doesn't appear as a dotted line.

Dim mnuSeparator As New MenuItem
mnuSeparator .Text = "-"
menu.MenuItems.Add(mnuSeparator)



Hope this is it

No, the single hyphen doesn't work.
Thanks.
