using splitter

[Hrcko]

How to use this control?

I have to grids on my form, one on the top and one on bottom.

When I start application I want to be able to move bottom grip up, and top
grid down, but it doesn't work!

Where should I put splitter?

Set the "top" DataGrids Dock property to "Top". Set the Splitters Dock
property to "Top". Set the "bottom" DataGrids Dock property to "Fill". Then
select the "top" DataGrid and bring it to the front of the zorder (this is a
button on the Layout toolbar). Then select the Splitter and bring it to the
front of the zorder. Then select the "bottom" DataGrid and bring it to the
front of the zorder. It's really just the right combination of docking and
zordering.
