The simplest way to describe what I want is as follows:

I have two tables, the user may wish to see either table or both tables. If both tables are shown, I want a sash divider to appropriate a user-selectable amount of space for each table.

Thus, originally, I wanted to use a SashForm and the user could simply drag the divider. However, I want to make use of the ExpandItem header functionality to quickly show or hide one of the tables; the ExpandItem header is also a nice looking widget. If I attach a table to an ExpandItem in an ExpandBar, it doesn't take the full size of the container, and scrollbars show in the ExpandBar, not the table.

I was thinking of displaying ExpandItems that contain nothing, but which I might use as an event provider to relocate the sash, but my attempt became very complicated rather quickly.

Additional wrinkle, the parent container's size can change based on a resize of the shell. And therefore, the size available to the two tables is not static. Part of this could be solved if SashForm permitted a sash after all displayed children (ie, a request to for the SashForm to resize itself within its parent.)

Is there some nice way to do any of this?
