Well I need to draw up what we need here but this is
the way it needs to go.
1. I have to implement the anchors concept in the
controls that are supposed
to have them.
I don't think you should implement this 'into' the component. It is the editor that should handle and draw those anchors. Otherwhise a component could mess -up the editor. (by a custom-component that overwrites some anchor-handling functionality for instance) And what about non-visual components ?

2. I have to implement the align property in
controls that are supposed to
have them.
3. Only certain types of controls, containers are
allowed to contain
widgets. This means that I will have to implement
some type of logic to
determine when and to what controls to apply the
fixed widget.
I don't know the component hierarchy, but aren't all containers derived from the same base class. Maybe you could check then the type of the component like 'if component is TBaseContainer then ' (I hope the 'is' is implemented in FPC)

5. a control without a anchor set or an align set
should not fire a resize
event or have one fired for it. For instance a
button does not have a
published resize event. It does in the existing
implementation but it should
not for delphi compatibility reasons.
What about TPanel ? It has an published onResize, and it has anchors.
