SashForm Divider render Sunken [message #456905]

All,

I'm simply use SashForm with the SWT.NONE as style and the divider dose not
show up at all. But if you move your mouse close to the divider line, a
shadow shows up for dragging.

If I use SWT.DEFAULT or SWT.BORDER as a style, then a "sunken" divider of
default width 3 pixels shows up instead of the normal "raise" rendering of
the divider like all Window apps.

What do I have to do to make the divider render "raised" instead of
"sunken"?

Thanks

Have a closer look at the dividers in other apps (like Explorer or IE).
You'll find that they appear to have an ETCHED_OUT style simply because
they are placed between two Controls with ETCHED_IN borders.

If you want the borders to be a part of the divider (looks the same, but
the borders can be dragged), have a look at my LiveSashForm class at

Oops, I meant OUT and IN, not ETCHED_OUT and ETCHED_IN.
