In some instances, you might want to keep users from resizing a panel past a certain point. In Panel1, for example, you may have a stack of buttons that you want visible at all times. When confronted with that sort of situation, you can use the SplitterPanel.MinSize property to specify, in pixels, the size of the area that you don't want users to drag past. In this topic, you will learn how to set the  SplitterPanel.MinSize property in Design view, in Source view, and in Code.

In Design View

Complete the following steps:

1. Add C1Splitter to the Web form.
2. Right-click on the control and select Properties. In the Properties window, expand the Panel1 node.
3. Set the  SplitterPanel.MinSize property for Panel1 to "30".
4. Save and run your project.
   

In Source View

To make Panel1 a fixed-size panel, place <Panel1 MinSize="30"></Panel1> between the <cc1:C1Splitter> and </cc1:C1Splitter> tags. Once the SplitterPanel.MinSize property has been set, the markup will resemble the following:

<cc1:C1Splitter ID="C1Splitter6" runat="server" Height="251px" Width="217px" SplitterDistance="50">
<Panel1 MinSize="30">
</Panel1>
</cc1:C1Splitter>

In Code

Complete the following steps:

1. Import the following namespace into your project:

   To write the code in Visual Basic:

     

   Visual Basic	Copy Code
   Imports C1.Web.Wijmo.Controls.C1Splitter

   To write the code in C#:

     

   C#	Copy Code
   using C1.Web.Wijmo.Controls.C1Splitter;

2. Add the following code, which sets the SplitterPanel.MinSize property, to the Page_Load event:
   

   To write the code in Visual Basic:

     

   Visual Basic	Copy Code
   C1Splitter1.Panel1.MinSize = 30

   To write the code in C#:

     

   C#	Copy Code
   C1Splitter1.Panel1.MinSize = 30;

3. Run the program.

This Topic Illustrates the Following:

Once you've built the project, drag the splitter bar to the left and observe that it sticks at 30 pixels.
