This is how the splitter works. First there is a view. You create a splitter in that view. Now you have to create 2 views, one for each pane. The initial parent view now only hosts the splitter and does nothing more. In your case, after you create the splitter, create two instances of the Child View class, one in each pane. «_Superman_» I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends.

Native objects will be on the native heap, managed objects will be on the managed heap. If you need to hold the pointer in a managed object, you can use the IntPtr type. If you expect to allocate the native object in one DLL and free it in another DLL, you'll want to make sure both DLLs are sharing the same CRT library (DLL).

Even then, it might not work, because of mismatches in the C run-time library versions.
