Prevent resizing

You can disable the resizing for the pane by setting false to the resizable API within paneSettings.

Splitter resizing will be enabled only when the target of the adjacent pane’s resizable api should also be in true state.

// Initialize Splitter control
var splitObject = new ej.layouts.Splitter({
    height: '200px',
    paneSettings: [
        { size: '200px'},
        { size: '200px'},
        { size: '200px'}
    ],
    width: '600px',
});

// Render initialized splitter
splitObject.appendTo('#splitter');
