Public Property SplitterDistance As Integer

Property Value

Int32

An Int32 representing the location of the splitter, in pixels, from the left or top edge of the SplitContainer. The default value is 50 pixels.

Attributes: SettingsBindableAttribute

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The value is less than zero.

InvalidOperationException

The value is incompatible with the orientation.

Examples

The following code example specifies that the initial distance of the vertical splitter from the left edge of the container is 79 pixels. Other basic properties of a vertical splitter are also shown. This example is part of a larger example provided for the SplitContainer class.

// Basic SplitContainer properties.
// This is a vertical splitter that moves in 10-pixel increments.
// This splitter needs no explicit Orientation property because Vertical is the default.
splitContainer1->Dock = System::Windows::Forms::DockStyle::Fill;
splitContainer1->ForeColor = System::Drawing::SystemColors::Control;
splitContainer1->Location = System::Drawing::Point( 0, 0 );
splitContainer1->Name = "splitContainer1";

// You can drag the splitter no nearer than 30 pixels from the left edge of the container.
splitContainer1->Panel1MinSize = 30;

// You can drag the splitter no nearer than 20 pixels from the right edge of the container.
splitContainer1->Panel2MinSize = 20;
splitContainer1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 292, 273 );
splitContainer1->SplitterDistance = 79;

// This splitter moves in 10-pixel increments.
splitContainer1->SplitterIncrement = 10;
splitContainer1->SplitterWidth = 6;

// splitContainer1 is the first control in the tab order.
splitContainer1->TabIndex = 0;
splitContainer1->Text = "splitContainer1";

// When the splitter moves, the cursor changes shape.
splitContainer1->SplitterMoved += gcnew System::Windows::Forms::SplitterEventHandler( this, &Form1::splitContainer1_SplitterMoved );
splitContainer1->SplitterMoving += gcnew System::Windows::Forms::SplitterCancelEventHandler( this, &Form1::splitContainer1_SplitterMoving );

// Add a TreeView control to the left panel.
splitContainer1->Panel1->BackColor = System::Drawing::SystemColors::Control;

// Add a TreeView control to Panel1.
splitContainer1->Panel1->Controls->Add( treeView1 );
splitContainer1->Panel1->Name = "splitterPanel1";

// Controls placed on Panel1 support right-to-left fonts.
splitContainer1->Panel1->RightToLeft = System::Windows::Forms::RightToLeft::Yes;

// Basic SplitContainer properties.
// This is a vertical splitter that moves in 10-pixel increments.

splitContainer1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
splitContainer1.Name = "splitContainer1";
// You can drag the splitter no nearer than 30 pixels from the left edge of the container.
splitContainer1.Panel1MinSize = 30;
// You can drag the splitter no nearer than 20 pixels from the right edge of the container.

splitContainer1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(292, 273);
splitContainer1.SplitterDistance = 79;
// This splitter moves in 10-pixel increments.
splitContainer1.SplitterIncrement = 10;
splitContainer1.SplitterWidth = 6;
// splitContainer1 is the first control in the tab order.
splitContainer1.TabIndex = 0;
splitContainer1.Text = "splitContainer1";
// When the splitter moves, the cursor changes shape.
splitContainer1.SplitterMoved += new System.Windows.Forms.SplitterEventHandler(splitContainer1_SplitterMoved);
splitContainer1.SplitterMoving += new System.Windows.Forms.SplitterCancelEventHandler(splitContainer1_SplitterMoving);

// Add a TreeView control to the left panel.
splitContainer1.Panel1.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control;
// Add a TreeView control to Panel1.
splitContainer1.Panel1.Controls.Add(treeView1);
splitContainer1.Panel1.Name = "splitterPanel1";
// Controls placed on Panel1 support right-to-left fonts.
splitContainer1.Panel1.RightToLeft = System.Windows.Forms.RightToLeft.Yes;

Remarks

Use the SplitterDistance property to determine or specify the distance in pixels of the splitter from the left or top edge of the container. You can both specify an initial distance and change the distance at design time or run time. If Orientation is Horizontal, SplitterDistance is calculated in pixels from the top edge of the SplitContainer. If Orientation is Vertical, SplitterDistance is calculated in pixels from the left edge of the SplitContainer.
