Hello,

I have a project with four panels stacked above each other with sliders in
between (everything docked up and bottom panel docked to 'fill'). If I want
to make the lower panel bigger, I must resize all 3 sliders individually. I
would like to be able to drag the lowest slider all the way up and collapse
the top three panels in one step. Is there a name for this type of
behavior?

Any recommendations on how to implement it? I've done a good deal of
searching, but I'm not finding anything (probably because I'm not searching
for the right term).

Thanks,
-Bill

This sounds to me like you want an outlook-style bar. I coded one
before in C++/MFC. Is that what you are thinking of?

Not outlook style. I should have said that I need to be able to drag the
slider for the bottom pane 'half' of the way up. The three panels on the
top would resize to the available space (I don't care if it is equal or
proportional or whatever) and the bottom panel would resize to the position
where I let go of the slider.

As it is now, if I try to drag the bottom slider upward, the slider will
stop once it touches the slider above it. I want it to push that slider up
automatically.

If anyone has an approach on how to implement this behavior, I appreciate
your suggestions.

-Bill
