Quick Start
Below are the steps necessary to utilise BSCSplitter in your application.

  • Add a BSCSplitter Control to your form!
  • Add two further controls ONTOP of the BSCSplitter Control. These two controls become child windows of BSCSplitter.
  • Decide which of the two controls you want you want to be on the Left Hand side of the splitter bar and set it's TAG property to "Left" (Omiting the quotes!) Hint: if you want to control the layout of one pane yourself (As in the demo) then put a picture box as the window and move your other controls in the re-size event of the picture box.
  • Set the SplitWidth, SplitLeft and SplitType properties of the BSCSplitter control.
That's all there is to it!
