2. Select C1Splitter1, navigate to the Properties window, and set both the Height and Width properties to "212".
3. Drag another control from the Visual Studio Toolbox and drop it into the right panel (Panel1) of C1Splitter1. C1Splitter2 is added to right panel. Observe that vertical and horizontal scrollbars appear to accommodate for the large size of the control.

   • OR
   • Starting from the bottom-right corner of C1Splitter2, drag C1Splitter2's container leftward and upward until it fits snugly into the left panel (Panel1) of Splitter1.
5. Once C1Splitter2 is positioned correctly in the right panel, set its Orientation property to Horizontal.
