Property Value

Type: System::Int32

An System::Int32 representing the width of the splitter, in pixels. The default is four pixels.

Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The value is less than one or is incompatible with the orientation.

Use the SplitterWidth property to change the width of the splitter itself, not the SplitContainer.

The following code example specifies that the initial width of the vertical splitter is 6 pixels (the default). Other basic properties of a vertical splitter are also shown. This example is part of a larger example provided for the SplitContainer class.

// Basic SplitContainer properties.
// This is a vertical splitter that moves in 10-pixel increments.
// This splitter needs no explicit Orientation property because Vertical is the default.
splitContainer1->Dock = System::Windows::Forms::DockStyle::Fill;
splitContainer1->ForeColor = System::Drawing::SystemColors::Control;
splitContainer1->Location = System::Drawing::Point( 0, 0 );
splitContainer1->Name = "splitContainer1";

// You can drag the splitter no nearer than 30 pixels from the left edge of the container.
splitContainer1->Panel1MinSize = 30;

// You can drag the splitter no nearer than 20 pixels from the right edge of the container.
splitContainer1->Panel2MinSize = 20;
splitContainer1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 292, 273 );
splitContainer1->SplitterDistance = 79;

// This splitter moves in 10-pixel increments.
splitContainer1->SplitterIncrement = 10;
splitContainer1->SplitterWidth = 6;

// splitContainer1 is the first control in the tab order.
splitContainer1->TabIndex = 0;
splitContainer1->Text = "splitContainer1";

// When the splitter moves, the cursor changes shape.
splitContainer1->SplitterMoved += gcnew System::Windows::Forms::SplitterEventHandler( this, &Form1::splitContainer1_SplitterMoved );
splitContainer1->SplitterMoving += gcnew System::Windows::Forms::SplitterCancelEventHandler( this, &Form1::splitContainer1_SplitterMoving );

// Add a TreeView control to the left panel.
splitContainer1->Panel1->BackColor = System::Drawing::SystemColors::Control;

// Add a TreeView control to Panel1.
splitContainer1->Panel1->Controls->Add( treeView1 );
splitContainer1->Panel1->Name = "splitterPanel1";

// Controls placed on Panel1 support right-to-left fonts.
splitContainer1->Panel1->RightToLeft = System::Windows::Forms::RightToLeft::Yes;
