I've created a couple of ToolWindows, one that docks at the top of my window and the other that docks at the bottom of my windows.  So far this works great.  What I would like to do is size the two ToolWindows so that they meet at the midpoint vertically on the window.

What would be the proper way to do this?

NOTE: I also find that I manually can't resize the ToolWindows to meet in the middle.  It always leaves a white gap.  I think this might be caused by the menu at the top that seems to mess up the window locations.  I'll write that up as a separate question.

Thanks,

Mike

In looking at the PropertyExplorer sample app I see that it doesn't use a panel to dock to.  Instead it passes null to DockLayoutManager which just docks to the form itself.  Using that approach I find the grids in the middle meet just exactly as I would expect.  I'm confused why docking to the form instead of a panel in the form would have such different results. I actually made this change to try to fix another problem I posted and found it helped here.

If this is some kind of setting to make this work within a panel I would still be interested in a response.

Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,

The gap between the two is the ClientHost I presume. Setting the ClientHost to null on the DockLayoutManager should do the trick.
