The splitter bar adopts the Thick splitter style.

In Source View

To change the style of the splitter bar to Thick  in Source view, add SplitterStyle="Thick" to the <cc1:C1Splitter> tag so that it resembles the following:

 

<cc1:C1Splitter ID="C1Splitter1" runat="server" VisualStyle="ArcticFox" SplitterStyle="Thick" VisualStylePath="~/C1WebControls/VisualStyles">

In Code

Complete the following steps:

1.   Import the following namespace into your project:

      Visual Basic

Imports C1.Web.UI.Controls.C1Splitter

      C#

using C1.Web.UI.Controls.C1Splitter;

2.   Add the following code to the Page_Load event to change the SplitterStyle setting to Thick:

      Visual Basic

C1Splitter1.SplitterStyle = SplitterStyle.Thick

      C#

C1Splitter1.SplitterStyle = SplitterStyle.Thick;

3.   Run the program.
