Can Splitter be Made to Work at Design Time?


Can Splitter be Made to Work at Design Time? Jeff Gaines
4/17/2004 10:02:00 PM
dotnet windows forms designtime:

Posted separately to
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms.controls, I
pressed the 'send button too quickly :-(

I am designing a small control that combines a Label and TextBox
with a Splitter between them so that respective sizes can be
changed.

This works fine while it is running but the splitter doesn't
work at design time - which is the opposite to what I want.

I can disable the Splitter at runtime but is it possible for the
splitter to be persuaded to work at design time? If not is there
a way of adding extra sizing handles to the control?

I was needing something like this too recently and I found this
article on codeproject. Check it out as I think it might have the
info you are looking for.

Many thanks for your reply.

I had a look at this control but it doesn't do what I want.

I want to be able to size my control on a form at design time by
'pulling' sizing handles or a splitter - like you can size the
columns on a ListView at design time by pulling them with the
mouse.

I'll keep trying!

Jeff,
This may not help, but I think you need to look at the ComponentDesigner class. You
might want to start with this msdn article:

Good Luck - JackRazz
