Question

Where in VS2010 can I find a horizontal separator control, as can be found in Outlook settings (screenshots below)?

Note: VB.NET preferred, but C# answers okay.

Even though this has been answered, I found the following to be what I need based partly on smoore‘s answer.

Create a new control. Edit the code to be the following:

public partial class Line : Label
{
    public override bool AutoSize
    {
        get
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

    public override Size MaximumSize
    {
        get
        {
            return new Size(int.MaxValue, 2);
        }
    }

    public override Size MinimumSize
    {
        get
        {
            return new Size(1, 2);
        }
    }

    public override string Text
    {
        get
        {
            return "";
        }
    }

    public Line()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.AutoSize = false;
        this.Height = 2;
        this.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Fixed3D;
    }
}

Replace Line with the control’s class name you want. This will put a separator that will allow you to resize in the designer and disables adding text, changing the autosize forces the size’s height to be 2 and width to be whatever you want, and disables adding text.
