Split

The Split Operation allows WinGuard to split an adapter display into several panes.

Every time the split of a display is changed in the Video Manager, WinGuard will send this Operation with the selected format to the adapter. If successful, the adapter should update the SplitFormat State accordingly.

Note: The Operation must be added in the Module XML, otherwise the split Operation can only be executed via the VideoManager.
