Well depends on consistent with what...

Delphi only looks at the anchors, if the parent changes.
Delphi doesn't have anchorsides.

taLeftJustify => the left side of the label follows the anchor
   taLeftJustify,   akLeft,   => the   "labels left"   stays at a fixed 
distance to the   "parents left"
   taLeftJustify,   akRight => the   "labels left "  stays at a fixed 
distance to the   "parents Right"

taRightJustify => the right side of the label follows the anchor
   taRightJustify,  akLeft,    => the   "labels Right"    stays at a 
fixed distance to the   "parents left"
   taRightJustify,  akRight  => the   "labels Right"   stays at a fixed 
distance to the   "parents Right"

Anyway, I only answered the question that was previously asked: WDD?


Of course with anchorsides (and explicit anchoring to other controls). 
this is different ......
