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.
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.
