The Exontrol eXSplitBar Component simplifies the task of resizing UI elements dynamically as the user drags a split bar. It automatically adjusts the position and size of adjacent controls - either horizontally or vertically - depending on its mode. When the Mode property is set to exSplitBarHorz, the control resizes elements positioned above and below the split bar. When set to exSplitBarVert, it resizes elements to the left and right. This behavior enables responsive and fluid layouts without requiring manual coding or event handling. What sets eXSplitBar apart from similar components is its broad compatibility. It works seamlessly across a wide range of development environments, including Microsoft Office (Access, Excel, Word), Visual Basic, Visual FoxPro, .NET Framework, Delphi, C++, C++ Builder, dBASE Plus, and more. This makes it a versatile choice for developers working across multiple platforms and technologies.
