Description

TCustomSplitter is a TCustomControl descendant which implements a control used to resize, position and align a control to which it is anchored. TCustomSplitter displays a vertical or a horizontal bar anchored to the side of another control. Use the Align property to specify the orientation for the splitter control, and the adjacent control to which it is attached. When the splitter is moved with the mouse, the adjacent control with the same Align value will be resized.

This class defines many of the basic properties for the children classes, such as positioning, sizing and alignment.

Another usage scenario allows setting the Align property to alNone, and using AnchorSides and ResizeAnchor.

TCustomSplitter is the base type for TSplitter.
