[forms] Any way to make the sash divider visible in a MasterDetailsBlocl? [message #318712]

Every time I show a user or UI designer a MasterDetailsBlock they are
completely surprised when I demonstrate the ability to resize the two
sides by dragging the sash divider.
Why is it invisible? I guess this is partly an SWT question, but at
least in raw SWT I can create a SashForm with the BORDER style -
MasterDetailsBlock does not provide a hook for creating the SashForm, so
I'm stuck with the one it gives me. Is there any way to make it visiible
other than setting a background color on it (which makes it sort-of
appear as the background color)?

Thanks in advance,
Eric

You may try the eclipse ua newsgroup too for this question since Forms
is part of UA.

sashForm.setBackground(sashForm.getDisplay().getSystemColor( SWT.COLOR_GRAY));

Not very beautiful but handy :)
