SplitPane inside a BoxPane - cannot get SplitPane to appear

[aappddeevv]

Wrote the pivotpad application to test bxml and layout issues that I have
been having.

 

I can get most items to appear as I would expect, however, the one
configuration that does not show up is placing a split pane inside a box
pane.

 

So placing:

 

<SplitPane xmlns:wtkx="http://pivot.apache.org/wtkx";

xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">

<left>

   <Label text="Left"/>

</left>

<right>

  <Label text="Right"/>

</right>

</SplitPane>

 

 

Inside a box pane

 

<BoxPane .>

 

</BoxPane>

 

programmatically or in bxml does not show the splitpane at all.

 

What am I doing wrong?
