Right, but it is as splitters (of that kind) work. The regular layout 
management  for a container control allows for any number of fixed size 
components (of equal horizontal or vertical alignment), plus one 
auto-sized component (alClient). A splitter allows to change the extent 
(width or height) of its left (or top) neighbour, and adjusts the extent 
of the alClient component accordingly.

Lazarus allows for more irregular layouts, see AnchorDocking.
