Splitter & Splitter Pane
EO.Web Splitter offers a simple two pane layout. Each Splitter contains
exactly two SplitterPane
controls. The first would be its
LeftPane and the
second would be its
RightPane. When
Orientation is
set to Horizontal,
the LeftPane is actually the top pane and the RightPane
is actually the bottom pane.
SplitterPane themselves are container controls. You should
place your contents into the left/top and right/bottom splitter pane
respectively.
Complex layout can be achieved by nesting multiple splitters together.
Border & Divider Image
The most important properties for a Splitter are
DividerImage and
DividerSize. These
two properties control the appearance and the width or height of the
divider. Without a DividerImage, a splitter would function
but user will not be able to see the divider, causing it practically
unusable.
Optionally, you can set BorderStyle, BorderWidth or
BorderSize on the splitter control to create a border that
matches the divider.
Divider Center Image & Expand/Collpase Buttons
Optionally, you can have a
DividerCenterImage
or Expand/Collpase Buttons overlayed on top of
the splitter image. The following diagram demonstrated how they are overlayed
together:
DividerCenterImage always appears at the center of the divider.
Expand/collpase buttons can appear at either end or the center of the
divider. DividerCenterImage and expand/collapse buttons can not
be used at the same time.
