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 = System::Drawing::Point( 0, 0 );
splitContainer2->Name = "splitContainer2";

// Create the horizontal splitter.
splitContainer2->Orientation = System::Windows::Forms::Orientation::Horizontal;
splitContainer2->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 207, 273 );
splitContainer2->SplitterDistance = 125;
