Writing code to remember splitter positions

1179

Hi,

We have code in our projects base form class to remember several user settings, such as the size of the form, and restore them the next time the form is opened. This will record and restore the position of any splitter controls using the SplitterPosition property of the winforms slitter control. I'm trying to achieve the same thing with the UltraSplitter control, but there isn't (as far as I can see) any similar property I can use. Am I missing something obvious?

One thing I'm about to try is to look at the splitter's dock style, then search for another control within the same container with the same dock style, and store that controls height or width accordingly.

That's worked quite well, it seems. Still, if there's a more natural way to do it?

Hello ,

I could recommend to use Properties.Settings class in order to save needed properties. I have reviewed the following tutorials from MSDN:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/winforms/advanced/how-to-create-a-new-setting-at-design-time?redirectedfrom=MSDN

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/winforms/advanced/how-to-write-user-settings-at-run-time-with-csharp?redirectedfrom=MSDN

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/winforms/advanced/how-to-read-settings-at-run-time-with-csharp?redirectedfrom=MSDN

Based on this I was able to build a simple sample, where you have UltraSplitter and after you close the form, application “Remember” where the spliter was.

Please let me know if you have any further questions
