Auto-Resizing to Content

You can expand the height of the Splitter based on the content inside a pane.

  1. Set up the Splitter to expand to the height of its parent according to the article on how to expand to 100% height and auto-resize.
  2. Make sure that the parent content is resized when the content of the pane is rendered.
  3. Call the resize method to finalize the process.
