  I have a docked RADSplitContainer with 3 panels, 2 horizontal splitters. I only want the middle panel to resize when the form is resized the top & bottom are can not be resized. Will an absolute size take care of that, or do I need to do something else (and what would that be?)?
  
  Thanks

  Hello James Relyea,

  In order to achieve your requirement, it is enough to set the SizeMode to Absolute:

  this.splitPanel1.SizeInfo.SizeMode = Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.SplitPanelSizeMode.Absolute;

  
  You can review an example of such behavior in our Examples application, section SplitContainer >> FirstLook.
  
  I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.
  
  All the best,

  Setting absolute sizes only prevents the panels from resizing as the form resizes. How do I lock the panel from resizing at all? I don't want users to move the splitter bar either and leave the splitter bar visible.
  
  Thanks

  Hi James Relyea,

  In order to prevent a panel from resizing, you should fix the splitters that are responsible for the resizing operation. This is demonstrated in the Split Container >> First Look sample as well. Basically, you need to set Fixed property of the desired SplitterElement to true:

  this.radSplitContainer1.Splitters[0].Fixed = true;

  All the best,

  Is that a code only property, or is there a design time property for it too?
  
  Thanks for the reply.

  Hello James Relyea,

  Currently, Splitters cannot be accessed at design-time. We will improve this behavior in one of our next releases. For the time being, please set the Fixed property in code.
  
  Sincerely yours,
