Do you like the SplitterContainer?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I had a form with 6 panels separated by 5 splitters.

Thought I'd try the SlpitterContainer so I converted to 5
splittercontainers.

The first container replace the first panel. It's second panel contained
container 2; and so on.

So instead of 6 panels and 5 splitters I had 10 panels and 5 splitters.

What is the impact of that?


Supposed the original were not panels but, say, pictureboxes.

Then instead of 6 pictureboxes and 5 splitters I'd have 10 panels, 5
splitters and 6 pictureboxes.

Does that impact resources or speed.


Also, I couldn't name the container panels, which is not nice.

And to find the location of a splitter I had to add the location of the
previous ones.



Since MS provides the splitter "only for compatibility with previous
versions" do you think in the future it will be removed from the tool box,
or worst.

Thanks for your comments
