# Compound Split ## Content A compound split is a nested split, meaning that the initial [C1SplitContainer](/componentone/docs/win/online-splitcontainer/) control contains one or more C1SplitContainer controls. A compound split can contain two or more vertical splitters, two or more horizontal splitters, or a combination of vertical and horizontal splitters. A compound split can be created by added two or more C1SplitterPanels into the panel of the parent C1SplitContainer. For more information on creating a compound split, see [Creating a Nested Split](/componentone/docs/win/online-splitcontainer/splitcontainerforwin3/creatingdifferentspl/creatinganestedsplit).
