public property TWinControl.ChildSizing : TControlChildSizing |
ChildSizing is a TControlChildSizing property which contains properties and methods used to resize and layout the child controls on a control instance. ChildSizing provides an alternative to using Anchors and Align properties to position and resize child controls. It allows a dynamic tabular (or matrix) layout to be applied to its child Controls.
Use the Layout property to specify both the order and direction child controls are aligned, and which algorithm is used to size and position child controls. Values in ChildSizing are used and applied when its Layout property is set to a value other than cclNone.
See TControlChildSizing for more detailed information about the properties and methods in the class instance.
