Using the Splitter control 1

[pfildes]

I have a win form which consists of the following controls; a mainmenu, a toolbar, 2 listviews (stacked on top of each other) and a statusbar.

I've been trying unsuccessfully to add the Splitter control to aid the resizing of the listviews . Can anybody suggest the steps I need to follow to successfully create the form?.

Place the menu, and toolbar.
Place one listview, and dock it to the bottom.
Place the splitter and dock it to the bottom.
Place the second list view and dock it to all.

Enjoy

Thanks Rebecca for your post. I'm still having a little difficulty getting this to work correctly.

My .NET project is a converted VB6 project and the controls (listview's, toolbar) were all from MSCOMCTLLIB . I've converted them to the .NET framework, and in the process I decided to make use of the splitter control. Previously I wrote my own class to handle the functionality of the splitter which worked well.

The problem I have is that the listviews when docked appear to hide under the toolbar and statusbar. I just don't seem to be able to perfect it. Have you any further idea's about this?.

try putting the two listviews and the splitter control in a panel and put the panel where the two listviews need to be and instaed of docking the panel set the anchor properties to all sides

I've now resolved my problem of using the Splitter control .
This was achieved by;
1. Adding a panel control in between my toolbar and statusbar
2. Anchor the panel control to all sides
3. Add a listview control and dock to bottom
4. Add a splitter control and dock to bottom
5. Add my final listview control and dock to all.

Thanks to Becca & Christiaan
