Moving Splitter Control (VB)

[Algar]

I am trying to move a splitter control at runtime to maintain a minimum Splitter.Top position during splitter movement and form resizing.

 

I put the following code in a sub

 

If split.Top < 685 Then split.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(0, 685)

 

And im calling this sub from the form_resize, split_splittermoving and split_splittermoved events.

 

When I go to move the splitter and split.Top becomes less then 685 is starts flashing beween where my mouse is currently dragging it, and the 685 position (during the _splittermoving event) but when I release the mouse it stays in its position above the 685.

 

Also resizing the form after the splitter has been released at a position higher then 685 does not reposition it.

 

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

could you not just use the splitters MinSize Property?

MinSize is the control size I beleive but as I went to look I noticed the MinExtra property which is the size of the undocked area, exactly what I want.

 

All these new properties in .net uuhhhh :)

 

Thanks !
