Aligning two buttons (etc.) relative to the middle of a form
howardpc:
Yes, wp, you are quite correct.
I should have tried out my thought in practice before suggesting something that does not work.
MarkMLl:
And I should have checked before agreeing with you :-)
Actually, I think that the IDE actively warns that border control is inoperative with certain combinations.

Not sure if the attached project is what you expected, but basically just play around with ChildSizing.

OK, I think I see what you've done... ChildSizing on the form/panel/groupbox etc. which then tells the children where to stand, rather than giving each child an anchor. I note that this is described at https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Autosize_/_Layout#Precedence_rules, which has been on my screen pending time to read it for the last couple of days.
I note the discussion at https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/LCL_AutoSizing, which makes it sound pleasantly deterministic. In the past people have looked at things like https://constraints.cs.washington.edu/deltablue/ for UI layout, but the always appeared to come with health warnings.
