Hi, How can I obtain, in windows forms (.net), this (screen) spacing between the controls? like, between the mail panel on the left, and the inbox one right to it, theres a small spacing... and between those and the toolbar, theres another... is there any special propertie on controls that allows me to do this...? Thanks

Yup, the form itself (and all containers, like panels) have a GridSize property that defaults to 8,8. Change it to 4,4 or 2,2 or something.

If you want to use what they're using in Outlook, use the "Splitter" control. It's kind of weird to use if you're not used to docking controls, but it's very effective once you do.
