Hi There

is anyone able to point in the right direction or have snippet of code that can change the size of panel in splitcontainer at runtime. i currently have a split container set to horizonatal orientation with 2 panels. In one of the panels there a button that the users press which changes the height of panel2 so it has disappeared.

im try with the code below but getting error message "The SplitterPanel's height cannot be set explicitly. Set the SplitterDistance on the SplitContainer instead."

 Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

    SplitContainer2.Panel2.Height = 2

End Sub

Any Help be appericated.

thanks IN advance

'to set size 200:

Dim MySize as integer=200
Me.SplitContainer2.SplitterDistance = Me.SplitContainer2.Width - Me.SplitContainer2.SplitterWidth - MySize
