The following code example shows a horizontal splitter whose top and bottom panels contain ListView controls. Other basic properties of a horizontal splitter are also shown. This example is part of a larger example provided for the SplitContainer class.
' Basic SplitContainer properties.
' This is a horizontal splitter whose top and bottom panels are ListView controls. The top panel is fixed.
splitContainer2.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill
' The top panel remains the same size when the form is resized.
splitContainer2.FixedPanel = System.Windows.Forms.FixedPanel.Panel1
splitContainer2.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(0, 0)
splitContainer2.Name = "splitContainer2"
' Create the horizontal splitter.
splitContainer2.Orientation = System.Windows.Forms.Orientation.Horizontal
splitContainer2.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(207, 273)
splitContainer2.SplitterDistance = 125
splitContainer2.SplitterWidth = 6
' splitContainer2 is the third control in the tab order.
splitContainer2.TabIndex = 2
splitContainer2.Text = "splitContainer2"
// Basic SplitContainer properties.

splitContainer2.Orientation = System.Windows.Forms.Orientation.Horizontal;
splitContainer2.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(207, 273);
