Splitter control question

[Roshawn]

Hi,

I was wondering if I could specify a background image for the splitter
control. On the Properties tab the property is not there, yet if I create
the splitter entirely in code the IntelliSense window reveals that a
BackgroundImage property exists.

What is the proper way to set this property (in code)?

Thanks,
Roshawn

Hi,

I am not sure why you want to put an image on something 3 pixels
wide but you could add code in the paint event to draw the image.
Private Sub Splitter1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Splitter1.Paint

Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics

Dim rDraw As New Rectangle(0, 0, Splitter1.Width, Splitter1.Height)

g.DrawImage(Image.FromFile("C:\Camera.bmp"), rDraw)

End Sub

You can use code such as this to retrieve a bitmap from a file. (Or, you
could get it from an ImageList, or whereever?)

this.splitter1.BackgroundImage = Bitmap.FromFile(@"C:\My
Pictures\sync.bmp");

I don't understand that too...
