Purpose
A splitter is a visual separator between two grouping elements. It allows the user to resize the adjacent groups.
Example
Guidelines
Is this the right control
- Always put a splitter between aligned, resizable grouping controls to allow individualization for users.
Behavior
- Store splitters' position and adjust control size accordingly on next login.
Appearance
- Define a minimum size for areas that cannot be undercut by users.
- Make splitters at least 5 pixels wide so that they can be easily clicked by any input device.
