This article explains how to add a splitter to a form in the object master designer.

 Instructions

  1. Add a “SplitContainer“ instance in the Form, for example on Position A1.

  2. For the direct instances on the left, set the layout positions with a prefix of "L", like "LA1".

  3. For the instances on the right, set the layout positions with a prefix of "R", like "RA1".

  4. For the direct instances, set the parent instance to the instance name of the split container.

If one of the instances in the split container is a tab folder, those are not using the "parent instance" setting. They are just contained in the form as usual. They are attached to a page and thus rendered in the tab folder. Instances on the tab-pages are not using the L/R prefix on their layout position.
