Thanks I tried that, but there is a minor correction. P3 must be
alClient, not alLeft.
Now it looks like I wanted, but that's a really odd way of having to
do it. I would think creation order, or the order in which you set
Align would make a lot more sense - and reduce the amount of
components (resources) required to accomplish the same result. I guess
Borland was smoking something illegal the day they implemented the
Align property. :-)
Thanks again for the response.
I think it rather stems from the Windows world rather than Borland's bright
minds. AFAIK it always was: horizontal takes precedence on vertical. So
Top/Bottom fills entire width, Left/Right takes the remaining height, Client
fill's the rest.
Not really.
The problem is that there is no 'creation order'. The streaming system
doesn't guarantee you in which order components are created. Therefor, the
'order of setting the align property' is not well-defined, and therefor is
not taken into account when doing layouting.
Michael.
