I figured it out by using a Panels.
First panel created and Dock to the left of the form
Added spliter in to the form side so it Docks on the left
Added Panel 2 and Dock it to the top of the first panel
Added Spliter under Panel 2 and Dock it to to the top
One thing I found is that if the spilter does not have both boxes on either side of the line then the spliter will not work when run.
I hope this may help others just starting out like I'm am.
