Function: A view that arranges two or more views in a linear stack running horizontally or vertically.
Example: 
Sub Opening()
  // add sub views
  Dim view As NSSplitViewMBS = Me.View
  
  view.Vertical = True
  view.addArrangedSubview TextArea1.NSViewMBS
  view.addArrangedSubview TextArea2.NSViewMBS
  
End Sub
Notes:
By default, dividers have a horizontal orientation so that the split view arranges its panes vertically from top to bottom.

Divider indices are zero-based. If the Vertical property is false, which is the default value, the top divider has an index of 0. If isVertical is true, the leading divider has an index of 0.
