Creating Split Panels

  To create a split panel (a panel with a movable splitter bar):

  1. In Document Designer, drag a Split Panel object from the component toolbar onto the content area.

    The Split Panel Properties dialog box is displayed.

  2. Select a horizontal or vertical splitter bar from the Orientation radio button group.

  3. Optional: In the Sizing group, select One-Touch Expandable to add controls to the splitter bar.

    The Splitter bar is the slider that divides the split panel. When the One-Touch Expandable option is selected, two arrow controls move the splitter bar in opposing directions with one click.

  4. Optional: In the Background Images group, click Left/Right or Top/Bottom, to display the Select Graphic dialog box for that half of the Split Panel.

    You can set a color for the specified half of the split panel, or load a background image in it. See Selecting Graphics.

  5. Click OK.
