How to: Split a Window Horizontally

The following code example makes the splitter that divides the SplitContainer control horizontal.

Note

The Orientation property of the SplitContainer control determines the direction of the splitter, not of the control itself.

To split a window horizontally

1. Within a procedure, set the Orientation property of the SplitContainer control to Horizontal.

   Sub ShowSplitContainer()
       Dim splitContainer1 as new SplitContainer()
       splitContainer1.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Fixed3D
       splitContainer1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(74, 20)
       splitContainer1.Name = "DemoSplitContainer"
       splitContainer1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(212, 435)
       splitContainer1.TabIndex = 0
       splitContainer1.Orientation = Orientation.Horizontal
       Controls.Add(splitContainer1)
   End Sub
   

   public void showSplitContainer()
   {
       SplitContainer splitContainer1 = new SplitContainer ();
       splitContainer1.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Fixed3D;
       splitContainer1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point (74, 20);
       splitContainer1.Name = "DemoSplitContainer";
       splitContainer1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size (212, 435);
       splitContainer1.TabIndex = 0;
       splitContainer1.Orientation = Orientation.Horizontal;
       this.Controls.Add (splitContainer1);
   
   }
