Auto-Resizing the Height
The Splitter enables you to expand it vertically and resize it together with the browser window.
Web standards require that elements with percentage height have a parent element with an explicit height. The rule applies recursively until an element with a pixel height is reached, or until the <html> element is reached. If the requirement is not met, the computed height of the Splitter falls back to auto and the widget collapses, depending on its content.
You also have to remove the border of the Splitter. Elements that are 100% high cannot have borders, margins, paddings, and sibling elements. In a nested-Splitter scenario, if each Splitter is a direct child of a parent pane, the inner Splitters remove their borders automatically.
Resizing to 100% Height Automatically
In the following example, the outer Splitter has no siblings and has a 100% height style applied. Its parent is the <body> element and it receives a height:100% style which, in turn, requires the <html> element to obtain the same style.
@(Html.Kendo().Splitter()
.Name("vertical")
.Orientation(SplitterOrientation.Vertical)
.Panes(verticalPane => {
verticalPane.Add().Collapsible(true).Size("60px").Content("Outer splitter : top pane (resizable and collapsible)");
verticalPane.Add().Collapsible(false)
.Content(Html.Kendo().Splitter()
.Name("horizontal")
.Orientation(SplitterOrientation.Horizontal)
.Panes(horizontalPanes => {
horizontalPanes.Add().Collapsible(true).Size("100px").Content("Inner splitter :: left pane");
horizontalPanes.Add().Collapsible(false).Content("Inner splitter :: center pane");
horizontalPanes.Add().Collapsible(false).Resizable(true).Size("15%").Content ("Inner splitter :: right pane");
}).ToHtmlString()
);
verticalPane.Add().Collapsible(false).Resizable(false).Size("15%").Content("Outer splitter : bottom pane (non-resizable, non-collapsible)");
})
)
<style>
html,
body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
#vertical,
#horizontal {
height: 100%;
}
#vertical {
border-width: 0;
}
</style>
public class SplitterController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
Resizing to Calculated Heights Manually
If the dimensions of the Splitter do not depend directly on the browser viewport size or if the Splitter has visible siblings, using a 100% height for it may not be applicable. In this case, you need to set the height of the Splitter Kendo UI for jQuery wrapper <div> manually and then call the resize method.
<div id="header">Page header</div>
@(Html.Kendo().Splitter()
.Name("vertical")
.Orientation(SplitterOrientation.Vertical)
.Panes(verticalPane =>
{
verticalPane.Add().Collapsible(true).Size("60px").Content("Outer splitter : top pane (resizable and collapsible)");
verticalPane.Add().Collapsible(false)
.Content(Html.Kendo().Splitter()
.Name("horizontal")
.Orientation(SplitterOrientation.Horizontal)
.Panes(horizontalPanes =>
{
horizontalPanes.Add().Collapsible(true).Size("100px").Content("Inner splitter :: left pane");
horizontalPanes.Add().Collapsible(false).Content("Inner splitter :: center pane"); ;
horizontalPanes.Add().Collapsible(false).Resizable(true).Size("15%").Content("Inner splitter :: right pane");
}).ToHtmlString()
);
verticalPane.Add().Collapsible(false).Resizable(false).Size("15%").Content("Outer splitter : bottom pane (non-resizable, non-collapsible)");
})
)
<div id="footer">Page footer</div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
var outerSplitter = $("#vertical").data("kendoSplitter");
var browserWindow = $(window);
var headerFooterHeight = $("#header").height() + $("#footer").height();
function resizeSplitter() {
outerSplitter.wrapper.height(browserWindow.height() - headerFooterHeight);
outerSplitter.resize();
}
resizeSplitter();
browserWindow.resize(resizeSplitter);
})
</script>
