Splitter Bar

I am creating an explorer-style application w/many different view panes (eg. A treeview, a listview, a web-browser, etc.). I want to use a splitter bar to allow for resizing. I can use a picturebox control...but that seems a little "cheesy" to me. I would like to be able to create, and use a real splitter bar in Visual Basic 6...Also, does anyone know of a way to change a MDI form's appearance property at run-time? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Eugene Oates

I am also writing an explorer style application and i use the sheridan splitter control (around 200$) all other free control that i saw are using the picture box.
