Your question can be interpreted in several ways, here are two interpretations and possible solutions.
Do you (1) simply want everything in panel a to become invisible or do you (2) want to programatically move the splitter left so panel A has zero width and panels b,c,d, move to the left?
For (1), make "visibility" property nodes for all desired objects in panel A. Show or hide them using a boolean.
For (2), create a property for splitter2, select property "splitter position", and programmatically feed it a lower number so the spliiter bar moves left.
Now repeat for the other panels/splitters accordingly.
