RadSplitter provides a flexible client-side API that allows you to change easily the configuration in the browser.

  1. Getting the RadSplitter client-side object:

    var splitter = $find("<%= RadSplitter1.ClientID %>");

  2. Once you get the client-side object of RadSplitter, you can use the getPaneById method to get the instance of a particular pane. Example:

    var splitter = $find("<%= RadSplitter1.ClientID %>");
    var pane = splitter.getPaneById("<%= RadPane1.ClientID %>");

    You can also use the getPaneByIndex method to get an instance of a pane. Example:

    var splitter = $find("<%= RadSplitter1.ClientID %>");
    var pane = splitter.getPaneByIndex(1);

    or to get the collection of all panes in the splitter using the getPanes method:

    var splitter = $find("<%= RadSplitter1.ClientID %>");
    var panes = splitter.getPanes(); // get the panes collection
    // loop the the collection
    for (var i=0; i < panes.length; i ++)
    {
        var paneObj = panes[i]; // get instance of the RadPane
    }

  3. Using the client-side API you can collapse, expand, resize. Examples:

    var splitter = $find("<%= RadSplitter1.ClientID %>");
    var pane = splitter.getPaneById("<%= RadPane1.ClientID %>");
    var isCollapseSuccess = pane.collapse(); // collapse this pane
    var isExpandSuccess = pane.expand(pane); // expand this pane
    pane.resize(100); // increase panes size with 100px

  4. You can use the get_width, get_height methods to get the size of the splitter or panes. Example:

    var splitter = $find("<%= RadSplitter1.ClientID %>");
    var splitterWidth = splitter.get_width();
    var splitterHeight = splitter.get_height();
     
    var pane = splitter.getPaneById("<%= RadPane1.ClientID %>");
    var paneWidth = pane.get_width();
    var paneHeight = pane.get_height();
