Bob,

The example that I found on your site is all well and good, but what
about raised 3d borders? I do not want the sunken 3d panel, I want a
raised one. Will it work the same way if I sublcass the panel and set it
through the CreateParams? Again, I'm not doing this in a custom control,
I'm doing it in the standard windows forms panel.
