                splitStyle.DarkColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 104, 140, 175);
                splitStyle.LightColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 255, 255);
                splitStyle.Width = 7;
            }
            else

                splitStyle.BackColor = SystemColors.Control;
                splitStyle.DarkColor = SystemColors.ControlDark;
                splitStyle.LightColor = SystemColors.ControlLight;
                splitStyle.Width = 6;
            }

            this.gcMultiRow1.SplitStyle = splitStyle;
        }

Private Sub changeSplitLineStyleButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles changeSplitLineStyleButton.Click
        Dim splitStyle As SplitStyle = Me.gcMultiRow1.SplitStyle

        If Me.gcMultiRow1.SplitStyle.BackColor = SystemColors.Control Then
            splitStyle.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 215, 230, 247)
            splitStyle.DarkColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 104, 140, 175)
