Thanks Thomas - You and Cetin opened my eyes!

>Hi Terry,
>>I needed something like the ISE GUI offers - a 4 quandrant form splitter - I couldn't find one - so I impovised one - it seems clean - an any critique appreciated:

>nice and short! Your original code switched the mousepointer sometimes with the normal arrow while using the splitters, so I refactored a bit. I bundled most of the duplicate assignments, as this made the code clearer (at least for me) and added more "talking" methods/methodnames - which I probably would not have done to the extend of the "In"-methods in my own code<g>. But for my taste the mousepointer-behaviour is now more intuitive and it is still even less code. I think the magic numbers between -1 and 4 should either be recoded into constants and/or made dependant on the properties of the splitter - if you change the splitter properties for height and width you get "phantom lines".

>UPDATE: setting "nActivePointer" in the add object is probably not as intuitive as using "proper property overides" in the class definition - here I went overboard to minimize line number <g>. Cetin's point about object names could also be handled via property... Added a "local" to mouseMove.
