Splitting a form into vertical sections?

S4E

Does anyone know how you creeate a form which has essentially two 'views' so that you can have a vertical splitter giving the form two sections: E.g. on the left of the splitter I want to try and show a PDF file and on the right some other normal form controls etc. I'd be interested in knowing what sorts of steps are involved in doing this, and if anyone has succeeded in the past with something similar?

What you need on your form, is a Panel on the left, with dock of left. Then you drag a splitter onto the form (not the panel) with a dock of left. Then you drag a panel onto the remainder of the form with dock of fill. Then you drag your controls onto the Panels. You will have to play around with some of the settings, as resizing can be an issue with this.
