Description

TAlign is an enumeration type with values that indicate the alignment for a control within its Parent. The enumeration includes the following values and meanings:

alNone: fixed position and extent
alTop: stacked at top, full width
alBottom: stacked at bottom, full width
alLeft: stacked at left, full height
alRight: stacked at right, full height
alClient: filling entire remaining client area
alCustom: other alignment, in drag-dock: notebook

At most, one control can have alClient alignment for a given form or container.

The order of multiple controls with the same (stackable) alignment is determined by their Left and/or Top coordinate. The precedence of conflicting alignment requests (e.g. one at top, one at right) is resolved.
