splitter control and scrolling panels

Sam
Hi,
I would like to reproduce the same control as in Visual Studio for the
propery editor or the message feedback window. That is, a scrolling
panel that would appear when the mouse is over one of the side of the
main form. There should be the possibility to anchor it as well. How
can I do that ?

Thx

You'll either have to implement the behavior yourself or use a 3rd-party
library which provides auto-hide windows. The .NET Framework doesn't
include a predefined control.

here's something you might try. you have your main form, create another
form that has the controls that you want to scroll. turn off the borders and
captions. then set the parent of this sub form to the panel that gets
adjusted via the splitter. (i did something like this, but the i wasn't
doing any scrolling of the subform so i don't know if this will really
work.)

you will need to set a property in code on the sub form to allow this...
subform.TopLeve l = False

Hi! For my current application I'm looking for a four-way-(cross) splitter control (as often seen in 3D-editors). The .NET Splitter-class is (IIRC) only a two-way splitter. Does anyone know such a four-way-splitter control? Regards, Andre Loker

I have two panels on my form with a splitter between them. The top panel is docked Fill and the bottom is docked Bottom. The splitter is docked Bottom. When I run and try to move the splitter the System.Windows.Form.dll throws an SEHException at me. Is this a .NET Framework bug and does anybody know a workaround?

Hi all, I have a splitter sitting between 2 panels (which I use for drawing) on my main form. The problem that I'm having is that when I resize my form, the panel(plnDwgContainer) that has the fill dockstyle method seems to be a bit slow. However, if I try to resize my panel using the splitter, then it seems to be ok. Does anyone experience this? Below is what I have on my form. Thanks Sam

Hi everyone! I need some tips, ideas, suggestions on best approach to create "resizable panels". The best example what I am trying to achieve could be MSN mail (hotmail) which have separate, resizable panels for folders (inbox, sent, etc.) and for messages. Maybe someone knows exactly how that "splitter" functionality is implemented :) Those MVPs should know :)))) Thanks in advance :)

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
