Topic: "Pair-docking" design question

I have this pane layout (on one side):

___

| A |

|---|

| B |

-----

The two panes are sometimes attached to each other. When this is the case (like above), I want pane A to get resized vertically as pane B is resized horizontally. Basically, I want pane A to have certain proportions.

How do I accomplish this in a "good" way? I believe that "B" should derive CXTPDockingPane and somehow notify "A" when a resize occurs. Which functions should I override?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Maybe you should look into Min\Max for this. See the samples.

Seriously, how would you "link" two panes? Whenever the "splitter A" is moved, its adjacent (linked) "splitter B" should follow.

Would be quite cool in some scenarios. Any ideas?
