The EnableAutoResize option allows the Splitter control to adapt its rendering based on the parent container where it is actually placed. When this option is set to true, the Splitter control adjusts its height and width based on the outer container that contains it, and also the sub-elements within it adjust to its height, width and position, appropriately.
Enabling Auto Resize
The following steps explain the implementation of AutoResize option in the Splitter control.
- In the View page, add the Splitter helper and configure the ‘enable-auto-resize’ property.
<ej-splitter id="outterSplitter" height="250" width="100%" enable-auto-resize="true">
<e-split-panes>
<e-split-pane>
<e-content-template>
<div>
<div style="padding: 0px 15px;">
<h3 class="h3">Tools </h3>
Essential Tools is a collection of user interface components used to create interactive ASP.NET MVC applications.
</div>
</div>
</e-content-template>
</e-split-pane>
<e-split-pane>
<e-content-Template>
<div>
<div style="padding: 0px 15px;">
<h3 class="h3">Grid </h3>
Essential MVC Grid offers full featured a Grid control with extensive support for Grouping and the display of hierarchical data.
</div>
</div>
</e-content-Template>
</e-split-pane>
</e-split-panes>
</ej-splitter><style type="text/css">
#outterSplitter
{
margin: 0 auto;
}
.h3
{
font-size: 14px;
}
#innerSplitter
{
border: 0 none;
}
.content
{
padding: 15px;
}
</style>The output for Splitter when enable-auto-resize is tTrue”.
Animation Support
The Splitter provides you animation support when you expand or collapse the pane. The animation speed can be modified by using the AnimationSpeed property, that has values in milliseconds.
Enabling Animation with Animation speed
The following steps explain the implementation of EnableAnimation option in the Splitter widget.
- In the View page add the Splitter helper to customize the Splitter appearance.
<ej-splitter id="outterSplitter" height="250" width="100%" enable-animation="true">
<e-split-panes>
<e-split-pane>
<e-content-template>
<div>
<div style="padding: 0px 15px;">
<h3 class="h3">Tools </h3>
Essential Tools is a collection of user interface components used to create interactive ASP.NET MVC applications.
</div>
</div>
</e-content-template>
</e-split-pane>
<e-split-pane>

</div>
</div>
</e-content-Template>
</e-split-pane>
</e-split-panes>
</ej-splitter>The output for Splitter when enable-animation is “true”. Expanding or collapsing the outer pane in the Splitter produces the animation effect with the animation speed.

If the file ej.widgets.all.min.css is referred, then it is not necessary to include the files ej.widgets.core.min.css and ej.theme.min.css in your project, as ej.widgets.all.min.css is the combination of these two.
