Create borders around controls in MFC Form

I have an MFC form, basic stuff, a few group boxes, a few text boxes, some buttons, and a list box. What I'd like to do is add a border around all of it, preferably without a group box. Like, drawing lines along the right areas. I was told this is bad to do on a dialog though. What would I need to go about doing something like that?

I am currently using MFC C++ with Visual Studio 2008.

The easiest way is to add a Picture control to the dialog and set the style to have a border only. If the control has a width or height of 0 you can get a single line. Doing it in the dialog editor will only give you positioning down to the dialog unit, if you need pixel level control you'll have to create or reposition it in OnInitDialog.
