the following fragment shows how to create a splitter window, creating two subwindows and hiding one of them.

  splitter = new wxsplitterwindow(this, -1, wxpoint(0, 0), wxsize(400, 400), wxsp_3d);

  leftwindow = new mywindow(splitter);
  leftwindow->setscrollbars(20, 20, 50, 50);

  rightwindow = new mywindow(splitter);
  rightwindow->setscrollbars(20, 20, 50, 50);
  rightwindow->show(false);

  splitter->initialize(leftwindow);

  // set this to prevent unsplitting
//    splitter->setminimumpanesize(20);

the next fragment shows how the splitter window can be manipulated after creation.

            splitter->unsplit();
        leftwindow->show(true);
        rightwindow->show(true);
        splitter->splitvertically( leftwindow, rightwindow );
  }

  void myframe::onsplithorizontal(wxcommandevent& event)
  {
        if ( splitter->issplit() )
            splitter->unsplit();
        leftwindow->show(true);
        rightwindow->show(true);
        splitter->splithorizontally( leftwindow, rightwindow );
  }
