15 This class manages up to two subwindows. The current view can be
16 split into two programmatically (perhaps from a menu command), and unsplit
17 either programmatically or via the wxSplitterWindow user interface.

19 @beginStyleTable
20 @style{wxSP_3D}
21 Draws a 3D effect border and sash.
22 @style{wxSP_3DSASH}
23 Draws a 3D effect sash.
24 @style{wxSP_3DBORDER}
25 Synonym for wxSP_BORDER.
26 @style{wxSP_BORDER}
27 Draws a standard border.
28 @style{wxSP_NOBORDER}
29 No border (default).
30 @style{wxSP_NO_XP_THEME}
31 Under Windows XP, switches off the attempt to draw the splitter
32 using Windows XP theming, so the borders and sash will take on the
33 pre-XP look.
34 @style{wxSP_PERMIT_UNSPLIT}
35 Always allow to unsplit, even with the minimum pane size other than
36 zero.
37 @style{wxSP_LIVE_UPDATE}
38 Don't draw XOR line but resize the child windows immediately.
