Hi all! Happy holidays!

I'm using this new SpliterContainer control in a vb2005 project. It works
better then the older spliter control. However, I have the SpliterContainer
control set for Horizontal spliter with a listbox on top and textbox on the
bottom and this all works fine with one minor problem. There is space
between my listbox and my spliter on top of the spliter (Panel1). This
extra space is at the bottom of the listbox between the listbox and the
spliter. I have the listbox to anchor to Top, Left and Dock to Fill. I
can't seem to make the extra space that I don't need to go away. As you
move the spliter up and down it somes does go away. Is this space a known
bug (issue) or is there a way to make it work right?

Thanks in advance!

JerryM

No, this space is by design. Check out the listbox control's
'IntegralHeight' property.

Herfried, this is what I needed. When I set this property to False it
worked a I expected it to work. Why does this property do this and what it
the purpose of this functionality? Great job Herfried!

Thanks JerryM

If the property is set to 'True' (which is the default) the listbox
control's height is adjusted to show only an integral number of items (none
of the items is partially covered).
