Controls

TAlign specifies how a control is placed relative to its parent. It can have one of the following values:

Value 
Meaning 
alNone  
The control remains where it was placed. This is the default value.  
alTop  
The control moves to the top of its parent and resizes to fill the width of its parent. The height of the control is not affected.  
alBottom  
The control moves to the bottom of its parent and resizes to fill the width of its parent. The height of the control is not affected.  
alLeft  
The control moves to the left side of its parent and resizes to fill the height of its parent. The width of the control is not affected.  
alRight  
The control moves to the right side of its parent and resizes to fill the height of its parent. The width of the control is not affected.  
alClient  
The control resizes to fill the client area of its parent. If another control already occupies part of the client area, the control resizes to fit within the remaining client area.  
alCustom  
The control's positioning is determined by calls to its parent's CustomAlignInsertBefore and CustomAlignPosition methods.
