Hi,
How can i make collapsible splitter in windows application.I need the control should be collapsible.Please help me in this case.And send me the sample project for working collapsible splitter in windows applications.
Recently other customers requested functionality similar to the collapsible settings panel in our Demo application. I have prepared a sample that demonstrates it (attached). I am not entirely sure it would fit your scenario but you can consider extending it.
Here
is how it works. First I added RadPanel with back ground image and a
customized SplitContainer control. It is customized to use double
buffering when painting its inner Panels. Otherwise main content panel
will flicker a lot when repainting, and this is great issue if you a re
using any animations. Then I added RadSplitter control. Nothing special
here - this control simply resembles a splitter control with an arrow
that show the direction of expanding/collapsing. The main
expand/collapse functionality is carried out by the SplitContainer.
To animate the side panel I used AnimateWindow win32 API method. The
only quirk is that it expects the target window to be hidden prior to
animating.
For you information, a new RadSplitContainer control with more
functionality will be available in Q2, along with the new docking
system we are currently developing.
Let me know if this does the job.
