SplitContainer, visible handle for resizing

Using the SplitContainer.
Is there a way to make a visible handle, to click and drag, when resizing the panels in the SplitContainer.
I would like to make it obvious and easy to see for the user, where to click when resizing the panels.

Lasse,

It isn't too hard to do this, simply derive from SplitContainer and override the OnPaint method.
The following draws a visible grab handle for the SplitContainer.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace System.Windows.Forms
{
public class SplitContainerEx : SplitContainer
{
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint(e);

ControlPaint.DrawGrabHandle(e.Graphics, SplitterRectangle, false, Enabled);
}
}
}
