Stop splitter from scaling panels in C#?

Question

I have a SplitContainer with both panels filled.
When I resize it, tho, both panels scale equally so the splitter is at the same relative distance in the container.
I really need to block this feature. How do I do this?

Answer 1

Take a look at the FixedPanel property. You can then specify if you want Panel1 or Panel2 fixed. The three options are:

None (This is the default)

Specifies that neither SplitContainer.Panel1, SplitContainer.Panel2 is fixed. A Control.Resize event affects both panels.

Panel1

Specifies that SplitContainer.Panel1 is fixed. A Control.Resize event affects only SplitContainer.Panel2.

Panel2

Specifies that SplitContainer.Panel2 is fixed. A Control.Resize event affects only SplitContainer.Panel1.

Answer 2

You can use the FixedPanel Property of the splitter to specify wich panel will scale. By default it is set to None so both will scale.
