SplitContainer splitter in C#?

Question

i am using a split container. For some reason, the splitter looks like this: enter image description here

It is very hard to see. It is the faint 2 lines in the middle of the two black lines. How do i fix this issue and add a filling between the two lines? I am using Fixed Single as my border style.

that changes the whole border, i only need the splitter changed — Hunter Mitchell, Jul 17 '12 at 20:00

Try changing the backcolor, but if using the designer, then also go into Panel1 and Panel2 and change those respective backcolors to the colors you want.

Also, their is a SplitterWidth property that can adjust the overall size of the splitter handle.

thanks, all i had to do was change the back colors of the panels and set a different color in the splitter background... – Hunter Mitchell Jul 17 '12 at 20:05
Also, why when i click on it to move, it does not move in real time...it does not move until you release the left click??? – Hunter Mitchell Jul 17 '12 at 20:09
@EliteGamer That's just the way the split container works. You should see a dithered bar moving with the cursor, but other than that, once you mouse up and let go, then the sub panels will resize themselves. – LarsTech Jul 17 '12 at 20:15

Verify that the split container's anchors are set properly.

Use backcolor to change the color.
