I've created a form on which I need (want????) to put a line with a number of tick marks on it. For the sake of arguement, the tick marks are spaced six units apart. The number is variable and depends upon some data used by the form.

What I've done is create a large number of line controls, each one representing one of the tick marks. I now have far too many of these controls on the form and it is slowing down the form instantiation and closing.

I need an alternate approach and am hoping for suggestions. Please make them simple enough that my evil-twin Skippy can't mess it up for me.

Thanks to all..............Rich
