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
