Hi,

I'm trying to use a TSplitter to vary the size of a dockable panel I 
have. I have 2 other splitters in use that seem to work fine but this 
one is causing grief and I'm not sure what I'm missing. From left to 
right I have:

1. TPanel (DockSite, UsingDockManager = True, alLeft)
2. Splitter (alLeft - works fine)
3. TPanel (alClient)
4. Splitter (This is the new one! - alRight)
5. TPanel (DockSite, UsingDockManager = True, alRight)

I have the AutoSize property set to true during the UnDock.

procedure TMFrm.SideDockPanelUnDock(Sender: TObject; Client: TControl;
   NewTarget: TWinControl; var Allow: Boolean);
begin
   Allow := True;
   Splitter3.Visible := false;
   (Sender as TPanel).AutoSize := True;
end;

I set the AutoSize to false during the Dock:

procedure TMFrm.SideDockPanelDockDrop(Sender: TObject;
   Source: TDragDockObject; X, Y: Integer);
begin
   (Sender as tPanel).Width := (Source.Control as tForm).Width;
   Splitter3.Visible := true;
   (Sender as tPanel).Autosize := False;
end;

I grab the splitter bar and try to move it but it snaps back to its 
original position. I've made sure there are no constraints set so I 
don't know what I'm missing.

Thanks!

Which version of Delphi are you using?  Works fine for me when I just tried 
it in D6.  What does your DFM look like?  Are #4 and #5 contained inside of 
#3, or inside of the same container as #1 and #2?

Hi Gambit,

I'm using BDS version 2006. That's just it, it works fine for me with 
the other two splitters. My splitters look like this:

 From left to right:

TPanel(dockable alLeft)|| alLeft Splitter || TPanel(alClient) || alRight 
Splitter || TPanel (dockable alRight)

The alRight splitter won't work here. The wierd thing is if I move the 
alRight splitter to the left side it works fine.

My third, and functional, splitter is beneath the TPanel(alClient) and 
goes over to the right side of the application with an alBottom 
alignment. It is beneath the alRight splitter and TPanel (dockable 
alRight) as well.

There is some limitation that I must not be aware of...?

Thanks

Hi Gambit,

I actually figured it out. The splitter on the left went from top to 
bottom in my application. The splitter on the right only went from top 
to the bottom splitter. Once I reconfigured it to go from top to bottom 
it worked. Must have to do with Autosizing.

Thanks!
