How to use SPLITTER ?

[2G]

Put the tree on your form dock it Right, then put a splitter dock Right and
then the list dock Fill
Run it and move your mouse over the splitter , you will see what it does

First you'll need your container for both controls. This could be your form,
but it's often more likely to be a panel within the form.

Next place the list into the container, and dock it left.
Following that comes the splitter, also docked left. Note you may need to
change the width, and setting the border styles is helpful to see it when
designing.
Finally add the tree to the container, and dock it "fill".

Hope that helps.

using the splitter for the first time can be a pain (as I found out).
Essentially for it to work right you need to have each of the respective
controls z-order correct (this can be changed in designer easily by using
the sendtoback on the control)

First control you need to dock left, splitter is docked left (so that it
should be touching the previous control), the next control dock is then set
to fill. Heres one I quickly knocked up for you.
