This can be reduced with DisableAlign, EnableAlign.

I added some hints to the help description.

For example this line
  Label1.Width:=GroupBox1.ClientWidth;
must be put into the GroupBox1.OnResize.
Using any other OnResize for the above line will create cases where
your label is not resized properly.

So, normally you need to set several every OnResize event of every
parent that has special childs.

Yes, unless the childs can be setup with the normal TControl
properties.

procedure ... Panel1Resize(...);
begin
  with ListBox1 do 
    SetBounds(Left,Parent.ClientWidth div 100,
              Width,Parent.ClientWidth div 3); 
end;
