Inventor Look&Feel for dockable controls - Covered by API or user defined?

Hello everyone... I'm marching on regarding the creation of my 1st add-in... 

 

I have now a dockable control that almost moves and docks as I want it to... The look&feel I'm trying to implement is similar to what we have in Inventor's "Measure" tool dockable window...

 

I want to implement these "sections" in my form, where the inputs my add-in will expect are separated by these horizontal "bars" with the little arrow on the left... If the "section" is collapsed, the arrow points right... if it is expanded, it points down...

 

I wonder if these "bars" are something that is part of the API since they are used extensively on dialogs across Inventor... Or something I'd have to code myself from scratch if I wanted to follow Inventor look&feel on my add-in...

 

Thoughts?

This controls is not a part of Inventor API, but it looks similar to standard control from WinForms PropertyGrid.

Sample with PropertyGrid in DockableWindow is available here  in SelectionInfo.

That's super helpful @Michael.Navara

 

I do have an up to date DevExpress subscription but never noticed that one in particular...

 

I'll give it a try. Thanks a million.
