Split Container Control

Question

Hi All,

i have a split container control on my form.  To the left (Panel1) i have a few buttons and to the right (Panel2) i display a .pdf document related to the button clicked.

Can anyone tell me how to set my panel 1 width to fixed width (slightly bigger than the buttons in the panel) when maximized and only allow for panel 2 to grow so that i can have a bigger view of the .pdf?  The split container control is docked in the parent control (the form) and the form state is set to maximized.

Thanks in Advance,
M
