Hi there
Attached there is a sample application. I would like to set the splitter position with the help of a workspace manager. However I'm not able to set the position. According to this ticket this should be possible: Ticket T188072 What am I doning wrong?
We have fixed the issue described in this ticket and will include the fix in our next maintenance update. To apply this solution before the official update, request a hotfix by clicking the corresponding link for product versions you require.
Note: Hotfixes may be unavailable for beta versions and updates that are about to be released.
Hi Alisher
Thank you for your comment and explanation.
The WorkspaceManager component feels like a component that has been done just halfhearted… Don't get me wrong I LOVE DevExpress and I use it in almost every project. Your tools are just great!! But workspace manager just doesn't fit in this toolset. Our clients have different screen resolutions so I can't set the width of every form at design time. The second problem is that workspace manager doesn't take layout options into account when saving or restoring a xtragrid layout for example…
You describe the workspace manager as "the perfect solution" (https://documentation.devexpress.com/#WindowsForms/CustomDocument17674). To be honest workspace manager is far away from a perfect solution with all those limitations…
Once again I think you guys are awesome and are doning a great job. But workspace manager needs some improvements.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We greatly appreciate it.
I have created separate tickets and passed them to our developers:
1. WorkspaceManager - Provide an equivalent of the LayoutVersion functionality
2. WorkspaceManager - Provide an equivalent of the LayoutOptions property
We will consider implementing this functionality.
>>Our clients have different screen resolutions so I can't set the width of every form at design time.
We have plans to introduce an event (WorkspaceManager - Introduce the LayoutReady event that triggers once all components are initialized on a main form) that will trigger once all forms are initialized. Restoring the layout in this event will eliminate the need to resize any form.
Should you have any further concerns, please let me know.
Hi Alisher
I really appreciate that you take my comments so seriously! Another proof that DevExpress is the best software development tools provider out there :)
Thanks, Mike

Hi Michael,
I have reproduced the issue and passed this ticket to our developers for further investigation. We will inform you of our progress once we have any. Please stay tuned.
Hi Alisher
I wish I had done something wrong because I promised a customer that this would work…:( Is there any chance to het a hotfix for Version 15.1.6 or 15.1.7?
Thank you for your help!
Mike
Hi Mike,
This functionality works properly for SplitterControl. Take a look at the example attached to the SplitContainerControl - Provide the capability to save and restore the splitter position (should be used automatically by the WorkspaceManager component) ticket. You can use SplitterControl until we fix the problem with SplitContainerControl.
Let me know if you have additional questions.
Hi Alisher
Thank you for your suggestion to use the SplitterControl. However we made extensive use of the SpliContainerControl (around 50 controls, there are some pretty complex UI's). So it would be a huge amount of work to replace all SplitContainerControls with a SplitterControl (and back once the WorkspaceManager is fixed)…
Is there any wild guess when the fixed WorkspaceManager will be available?
Thanks a lot!
Mike
Hi Mike,
We have fixed this issue and I already requested a hotfix. Once it is available, we will send you a notification. Thank you for your patience.
Hi Alisher
