TCustomFlowPanel.AlignControls procedure
Performs layout and alignment for flowed controls on the panel.
Declaration
procedure AlignControls(AControl: TControl;
var RemainingClientRect: TRect); overrideArguments
AControl | Control with the child controls aligned in the method. |
RemainingClientRect | Unused client area where the child controls are aligned. |
Description
AlignControls is an overridden procedure used to perform layout
and alignment for flowed controls which are a child of the control specified
in AControl. RemainingClientRect contains the unused client area where the
controls are positioned and aligned.
No actions are performed in the method if child controls do not exist for the panel (ControlCount is 0).
AlignControls ensures space is reserved in the client rectangle for the borders on the panel. The value in FlowStyle determines the position in RemainingClientRect where alignment and layout for the controls is started. Each of the controls in ControlList is visited to adjust the client rectangle for the TControl instances based on the FlowStyle for the panel. SetBounds is called for the TControl instances to reposition / resize the control.
