I would like to create a form that has the similar actions to what is on the MS 2003 IDE default Right side (Solution Explorer with Properties in the middle and Definitions panel on bottom.
This is what I done.
Creating a form and added a panel1 docked on the right side.
Added panel2 and docked to the top then add a splitter in panel1 and docked it on top. Added RichText in Panel2 and docked it to the top and added another RichText in Panel2 and docked it to the bottom of Panel2. Added RichText to Panel1 and docked it to the top and added another RichText to Panel1 and docked it to the bottom.
The splitter will move up all the way to the top of the form but not all the way down. Why is that?
If I make RichTextBox3 smaller then it will move further down but does not make the same effect as the IDE when the Solution Window is pulled down with the slider beyound the Properties window.
Any Ideas would be apprieatted.
Is there a way to assign the slidder to go a certain distance up or down?
Most likelyI'm doing something wrong in how the panel and text boxes are assigned.
Thanks Marty
