I was programming in Java, .NET and C++, but now we are working on an application, that has to be written in Delphi 1.6. I have a GUI connected question and I can't find any answer to it. I have a GUI with two buttons and a memo. ------------------------------------------- - - - ##################################### - - # # - - # MEMO # - - # # - - ##################################### - - - - - - BUTTON1 BUTTON2 - ------------------------------------------- When I maximize the form, Memo doesn't maximize too. Also the buttons position remains the same (absolute). I want the Memo to maximize and buttons to stay under the Memo corners. Can someone please give me a tip how to di this. Thanks.

If you mean Delphi 6, then use anchors. Set the Anchors for the memo to true,true,true,true and the one for button 1 to true,false,false,true and button2 to false,false,true,true. -- Rudy Velthuis [TeamB] http://rvelthuis.de/ "One morning I shot a bear in my pajamas.

(meaning one of the versions of Delphi from 1 through 6)? For your problem, look at the Anchors property that is available for each of the controls. Set the memo to [akLeft, akTop, akRight, akBottom] Set the buttons to [akLeft, akBottom] Nils "Igor" <igor.pernek (AT) gmail (DOT) com> schreef in bericht news:1164566974.854873.277560 (AT) n67g2000cwd (DOT) googlegroups.com...

Not sure where i have seen 1.6. :) There is no Anchor property in Delphi 1.0. Can I use some alternatives? Thanks for your answers.

Then, you can only fill your form with panels that have align set to several options, like alLeft, alClient, etc. and put each of the components on one of them. Be a bit creative, i.e. something like: +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | alTop | +--+---------------------------------------------------------+--+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a| alClient | a| | l| | l| | L| MEMO | R| | e| | i| | f| | g| | t| | h| | | | t| | | | | | | | | | | alBottom | | | |+-------------------------v-----------------------------+| | | ||+--------------------------++-------------------------+|| | | ||| alClient || alRight ||| | | ||| BUTTON1 || BUTTON2 ||| | | ||+--------------------------++-------------------------+|| | | |+-------------------------------------------------------+| | +--+---------------------------------------------------------+--+ | alBottom | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ Be sure to remove the bevels and captions of all panels, and it might look good. Another way to handle this is to intercept the resize messages, and move your components accordingly. That may be cleaner (it does not require a lot of panels, where each panel requires a window handle), but a little more programming work. -- Rudy Velthuis [TeamB] http://rvelthuis.de/ "Why don't they make the whole plane out of that black box stuff." -- Steven Wright.
