With the .NET "WinForms" SplitContainer control, how can I hide a panel dynamically?

Question

Calling MyPanel.Panel1.Hide(); or MyPanel.Panel2.Hide(); simply hides the controls inside the panel... but I want to have the other side of the panel fill up the whole space.

So, if I hide Panel1, I want Panel2 to take up the whole space, and I want the splitter to disappear. Is that possible, if so, how?

Use MyPanel.Panel1Collapsed = true; to collapse Panel1 (likewise for panel2).

To hide one of the panels you can call

MyPanel.Panel1Collapsed = true; // or Panel2Collapsed

If Panel2 was collapsed, it will toggle its state to be shown after this call.

Thank you for the additional information about the other panel showing up when setting the first one. – Timothy Khouri Apr 14 '10 at 16:34
