If you need to change the Splitter position, then apparently the
control is not completely adjusted.
Every time some layout property changes the LCL has to recompute the
layout. To avoid overhead, you should react early instead of late.

If your splitter depends on the client size of its parent, then you can
use the parent's DoOnChangeBounds/OnChangeBounds or AlignControls.
