A Mozilla-style collapsing splitter control in C#
/*

	Windows Forms Collapsible Splitter Control for .Net
	(c)Copyright 2002-2003 NJF (furty74@yahoo.com). All rights reserved.
	
	Assembly Build Dependencies:
	CollapsibleSplitter.bmp
	
	Version 1.1 Changes:
	OnPaint is now overridden instead of being a handled event, and the entire splitter is now painted rather than just the collpaser control
	The splitter rectangle is now correctly defined
	The Collapsed property was renamed to IsCollapsed, and the code changed so that no value needs to be set
	New visual styles added: Win9x, XP, DoubleDots and Lines
	
	Version 1.11 Changes:
	The OnMouseMove event handler was updated to address a flickering issue discovered by John O'Byrne
	
	Version 1.2 Changes:
	Added support for horizontal splitters
	
	Version 1.21 Changes:
	Added support for inclusion as a VS.Net ToolBox control
	Added a ToolBox bitmap
	Removed extraneous overrides
	Added summaries
	
	Version 1.22 Changes:
	Removed the ParentFolder from public properties - this is now set automatically in the OnHandleCreated event
	*Added expand/collapse animation code
	
	Version 1.3 Changes:
	Added an optional 3D border
	General code and comment cleaning
	Flagged assembly with the CLSCompliant attribute
	Added a simple designer class to filter unwanted properties
