Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I want to have multiple resizable and collapsible children in a parent I cannot use either a grid or a stackpanel (or uniform stacking panel, simple panel etc) because a grid has the functionality of resizing its children using a grid splitter but cannot expanded the visible child like a panel can when another child is collapsed. And using a panel instead of a grid would produce opposite results- a panel canot have a grid splitter like control to resize its children in the way the grid splitter can.

So my suggestion would be to implement a control that has the functionality of both the grid and stackpanel. Something like the one answered here and here

Research direction

The request describes a new SplitablePanel combining GridSplitter-style child resizing with Panel-style collapsing and expansion. Start by reviewing the existing Grid, StackPanel, and related panel controls in HandyControl, then compare the linked examples. Done means multiple children can be resized and collapsed while the remaining visible child expands appropriately.
