save size after using splitter

[Sam]

Hi,
I have a panel docked to the bottom of my form. This panel can be
expanded vertically by clicking on a button. When the user click on the
button again, the panel is then collapsed. The panel has a horizontal
splitter, which the user can use to resize the panel when it is
expanded. I would like to save the height of the panel when the user
uses the splitter, so that when the panel is expanded via the button,
it size will be automatically set to the one the user had set.
Unfortunately I don't know on which event of the splitter I should
store the new size?

Can you help?
Thx

You could use the SplitPosition property of the Splitter class to get the
height of the panel.

Have a look @ these groups for language unrelated questions:

Save the value of the splitter control's 'SplitPosition' property and
restore it later. You don't need to store the size of the controls
connected by the splitter.

Sam,
In addition to the other comments.

A cursory glance at Splitter in VS.NET's Object Browser suggests:

Splitter.SplitPosition - the current position of the splitter.

Splitter.SplitterMoved - current position of the splitter moved.

Splitter.SplitterMoving - the current position of the splitter is about to
move.

Checking on-line help confirms the above.

Hope this helps
