GridSplitter

The GridSplitter control provides an easy-to-use Splitter that redistributes space between columns or rows of a Grid Control. By dragging the control, the control will resize the targeted columns or rows.

The control automatically detects the targeted columns/rows to resize, while dragging the control it starts to resize the columns/rows and redistributes space between columns/rows, you can manually specify the Resize Direction Auto, Column, Row and the Resize Behavior to select which columns/rows to resize.

Note

You can use the control to resize fixed and star (*) width/height columns/rows.
