Well, the question only touches a small detail of a bigger gui. But
Thinking about your answer I learned to use align'ment for simple
relations of only two components in one container and use anchors only
at inner levels where more complex relations between three or more
components have to fit in one container (TPanel). Sounds useful and more
simple, I'll go that way.

Thanks!
