Does anybody know what Splitter.Settings do? It has to be an integer array, but that's all I can work out.

I think it just holds the same
splitter data as
.Layout
For example, have a play with this:-
Public Sub Form_Open()
Dim iArray As Integer[]
HSplit1.Layout = [50, 50]
' iArray = HSplit1.Layout
iArray = HSplit1.Settings
Me.Text = iArray[0] & "," & iArray[1]
End

Thanks Steve, but it does not work. The
iArray remains empty with either a
Splitter or the deprecated
HSplit.

The Layout parameter is used as a percentage so:
Splitter1.Layout[20,80] will give the two child controls the available space based on a percentage calculation.
The Splitter1.Settings[0] will equal the actual size of the first child control width being used.
Note# I'm using the old HSplit control ( had not noticed that it had been depreciated.)
Hsp_Main.Height = Me.Height
Hsp_Main.Width = Me.Width
Hsp_Main.Layout = [16, 84]
Message(Hsp_Main.Settings[0] & " " & Hsp_Main.Settings[1]) '<---<<< this gives the actual size of the controls- the widths in this case.
I'm assuming that if you set the split orientation to vertical, then the settings parameter would give the height of the controls.

Thanks guys, you are correct, the
.Layout and
.Settings are the same. I had to put controls in the splitter to get the values.
For anybody who's interested, here is a little program that shows this.
EDIT: - Help pages now updated.

any .Settings property of a control is for use with Settings.Write() and Settings.Read()
See here
http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.sett ... ings/write where it explains...
"This method can handle Window objects, or any control having a Settings property."
So you can use the command...
Settings.Write(Splitter1) on form close and
Settings.Read(Splitter1) on form load
