Forms and list boxes 1

[AlastairP]

I am designing a new form which I would like similar behaviour as outlook where there is a bar seperating the list boxes and/or grids, which the user can use to drag n re-size the controls.
Can this be done?

the ingredients to program this exist: 1. Anchor, you can anchor towards form borders, but what's less used and useful for your idea is you also anchor to containers.

The only thing you need to "manually" resize with a "split bar" is two containers, the rest follows through anchoring.

Bye, Olaf.

Alastair,

Christof Wollenhaupt has a nice little splitter bar. You can download it from
