Ok, you got me on that one. I don't use alCustom, never needed to, so I
didn't check for that. Also if for example you use alTop and you set
Anchor akBottom to true, this will also not work. Again I don't use
those combinations, so I didn't check. I usually use alNone with
anchors, alClient, or alTop, alLeft, alRight, alBottom with a splitter
or without setting the fourth anchor. A lot of the time I have found it
useful to place things in TPanels (as well as TPanels inside a TPanels)
in combination with the previously mentioned modes to position things
around, sort of my way of getting things to position somewhat like in
Java. So far I have pretty much gotten the effects I want doing it that
way. For my way of doing things the only limitation would be the alNone
with anchors set mode, which does limit what you can do with the look of
an app.

I don't see that on Windows. Setting the TEdit's Align to alCustom has
the same problem as clNone. The other settings expand the TEdit to take
up the entire sheet, which isn't what we want.
Thanks.

Ok, never mind, I see now the bug is applicable to Win32 only. Although
using other modes other than alNone, seems to work Ok.

Hello,
Yes that would be showstopper, but I checked TPageControl/TTabSheet
under GTK, with TButton, TEdit, TListview and TStringGrid, and the
controls resize correctly, either with alClient or with alNone and
anchors set. ???

Graeme,
You might want to check and see if TNotebook has this same problem:
http://www.freepascal.org/mantis/view.php?id=8056
What this means is that anchored controls on a TTabSheet don't resize
when the sheet does following a resize of form at runtime. That is,
the
controls on the TTabSheet stay the same size, regardless of how big
the
TTabSheet gets (or how small).
I would think this would be a showstopper for a lot of programs.
Generally most programs don't restrict the main form to a set size,
which is what would be required to use TTabSheet/TPageControl.
Thanks.

Also, in both, if you are designing a tab, then flip over to another
tab,
any new components dropped onto the tab you are now on will not be
displayed
at design time, only the resize blocks will be there to tell you
where
it
is. This happens in Gtk2, not sure about Gtk1. Workaround is to save
the
project and then reopen it, then you can go on designing the other
tab.
Charl
You don't need to reopen the project, just reload the form. Save
files, close the form in the Visual Designer (top left cross), then
press F12 to load it again. Works for me. I'm using GTK1 btw.
Has anybody reported these issues in Mantis yet?
