Set Splitter Color

[SgtJarrow]

Using VS2008/.Net 3.5, is it possible to change the color of the Splitter in a SplitContainer??

I don't see a property for it, nor in the SplitterRectangle object. I am currently trying to do something through Paint and Graphics.DrawRectangle, but not any luck.

All I want to do is make the splitter line itself black.....

Thanks for your help.

Okay...nevermind. I answered it myself.

Solution:
Set the backcolor of the SplitContainer control to whatever color you want the splitter to be. Then set the backcolor of the controls in each panel to be something else.

My trouble was that I have a datagridview in the left panel and picturebox in the right panel. The SplitContainer, and subsequently the datagridview and picturebox, were inheriting the the backcolor of the Form. So by setting each one explicitly, I got the effect I was looking for.

Thanks for looking.
