Splitter (hwx.gui)¶
A Splitter Widget.
A Splitter controls the relative size of the children widgets by modifying the boundary between them. Splitter widget allows to create and control a dynamic layout of resizeable and collapsible panes. This can be useful when the areas that the splitter divides have variable dimensions.
For example, the Demo dialog box shows a splitter between the text edit area and the run edit. When the mouse pointer is located in proximity of the splitter, it will change appearance.
