Kirk,
When you drop it on the form, it always defaults to vertical. Check out the Dock property.

>I have to major components on a form, one above the other. Can I put a splitter control on the form and have it so that they can expand a horizonal section of the form (example they drag the splitter up and it makes the top component smaller and the bottom component bigger). I dropped one on the form, but it appeared as a vertical and I couldn't find where to set it to horizonal?
