TSplitIt is splitter component: it allows the user to resize certain parts
within a window, just like an entire window can be resized.
You, as the programmer, simply have to drop TSplitIt on your form, 
set the properties as you like and put the necessary code in the
OnSplit event handler to update the form when the user moves the splitter.

You can split anything with TSplitIt, not just two panels or the like.
Also, TSplitIt does not rely on the Align properties of the controls being split.

You may use this component free of charge in your public domain, freeware
and shareware applications. If you want to include it in a commercial application,
you are kindly requested to contact the author. Expensive applications
should not be built with free components.
