.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / January 2005Can I make a splitter stay centered using the Form designer
In a window containing two controls divided by a splitter, I want this splitter to stay centered when the window is resized. Is there any trick to do this in the Windows Form Designer or do I have to implement this programatically? Regards, Teis You need to implement this programmatically by calculating the position in the OnSizeChanged override or SizeChanged event. If the user is not supposed to touch it it's probably best not even to use a splitter but just calculate the positions and sizes of the controls either side of the centre.

No. I wondered why you wanted to have a splitter and automatically reposition it to the center of the form. I figured one or the other but not both.
