hi,

How can i move the spliiter programmatically? what i like to do is to mimic the behavior of the splitter in your examples. I intend to add a button to the panel and change the position of the splitter. I have tried to use the collapse property,  but it also hides the button. therefore i need to change the splitter position my self and leave a little space for the toggle button.

I have also tried to use the prev and next buttons on the splitter, by they are hidden as well when the panel is collapsed.

Thanks,

Sharon.

Hi Sharon Eden,

As far as I understand you would like to change the position of a Splitter. Note that instead of changing its position, you will need to change the size of its surrounding SplitPanels. For more information and sample code please refer to this help article.

I hope this is helpful. Let me know if you have further questions.

the Splitcontainer.SplitterDistance is how many points the splitter is from the top or left of the container

for example if I have a splitcontainer taking up my whole screen the top half (.panel1) is taking up 90% of the screen and the bottom (.panel2)taking up 10% (.SplitterDistance is about 900), I set MySplitContainer.SplitterDistance = 540, now its about 50/50 top and bottom.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for updating the thread. We have also developed an API for collapsing the splitters programmatically: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/splitcontainer/splitter-buttons. The feature was released in the R1 2017 SP1 version of the controls: https://www.telerik.com/support/whats-new/winforms/release-history/ui-for-winforms-r1-2017-sp1-(version-2017-1-221).

Regards,
Hristo
