Hi Emerson,

In Office 2003 (Outlook, Word) the content/panes only refresh/resize after the "split" operation is done. While dragging the splitter, a dark grey bar is shown and this behavior is similar to the way Gerald's version works.

I noticed that this is different from the way WindowsXP (Explorer) works.

>> 1) Objects linked to the splitter are resized with each mouse movement. It will be slow if the objects are containers with many complex controls inside. How about doing the resize only on mouse-up? (Of course you have to add an extra visible cue to show the splitter movement before mouse-up.)
