I'd like to create a window similar to Outlook in which there is a vertical window pane on the left and 2 horizontal panes on the right (when using the email preview option).

Outlook allows you to size these panes via the "bars" that appear in between the panes.

I've tried a few different tricks but haven't been able to come up with a result thats completely satisfying.

The closest I've come is by placing rectangular shape objects in between the grid and the two edit boxes. Then on MouseOver of either of the shapes, I do the following:

* a little error proofing code here

this.left = nXCoord     && this.top for the horizontal bar

* I also resize the appropriate edit boxes or grid

This works but it looks a little funny in that the bars show up separate and don't blend into one another as they do in Outlook. Okay, call me picky but Microsoft has it working without 2 separate bars. <g>

Has anyone played around with this to where you might have a much better solution!?

Thanks so much for your help.
