I'm currently re-evaluating the Win components and up to a few years ago been a avid user. One component that seems to be lacking is a splitter/split container. Do most users overcome this by using the docking windows? Because for me, it doesn't matter what scheme I apply to the inbox splitter/split container it looks out of place with the infragistics controls.
What do you do or is this even a concern?
Thank you

Hello
I guess that a container with a design time experience as the old UltraSplitter would be really appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
This depends on the exact needs of your application.
If all you need is a relatively-static splitter, and if you don't need robust styling capabilities, the Splitter control provided in Windows Forms should accomplish the task. Since you mention that the splitter looks "out of place" in your application, you likely need something more.
WinDockManager will likely provide the additional look-and-feel you're after. You can use it to set up split panes in many different configurations. This also provides functionality for pinning/unpinning, auto-hide, floating, and user-repositioning of panes, each of which can be disabled for an individual application if you so desire.
