The SplitCell method splits a cell in two cells. The newly created cell is called inner cell. The SplitCell method always returns the handle of the inner cell. If the cell is already divided using the SplitCell method, it returns the handle of the inner cell without creating a new inner cell. You can split an inner cell too, and so you can have a master cell divided in multiple cells. Use the CellWidth property to specify the width of the inner cell. Use the CellCaption property to assign a caption to a cell. Use the InnerCell property to access an inner cell giving its index. Use the CellParent property to get the parent of the inner cell. Use the CellItem property to get the owner of the cell. Use the UnsplitCell method to remove the inner cell if it exists. Use the MergeCells property to combine two or more cells in a single cell.

( "Merge" means multiple cells in a single cell, "Split" means multiple cells inside a single cell )

The following sample shows how to split a cell in three cells:

bInner = True With ExplorerTree1 .BeginUpdate .BackColor = vbWhite With .Groups.Add("Tree") .BeginUpdate .Expanded = True .LinesAtRoot = exLinesAtRoot .DrawGridLines = exAllLines .MarkSearchColumn = False .HeaderVisible = True .Columns.Add("Column 2").Width = 256 With .Items Dim h As HITEM, hCell As hCell h = .AddItem(Array("Item", "subitem 1")) If (bInner) Then f = .SplitCell(h, 0) .CellCaption(, f) = "<b>inner</b> cell 1" .CellCaptionFormat(, f) = exHTML f = .SplitCell(, f) .CellCaption(, f) = "<b>inner</b> cell 2" .CellCaptionFormat(, f) = exHTML End If h = .AddItem("Root ") .CellMerge(h, 0) = 1 .InsertItem h, , "Child 1" .InsertItem h, , "Child 2" .ExpandItem(h) = True End With .EndUpdate End With .EndUpdate End With

		ColIndex as Variant	A long expression that indicates the index of the column where a cell is divided, or a long expression that indicates the handle of the cell being divided, if the Item parameter is missing or it is zero.
