Keeping two buttons physically together
« on: July 19, 2011, 04:08:26 am »
I want to keep two buttons physically one next to the other, yet they still keep independent properties.

I thought I could put them in a panel, a TPanel, in fact, but wonder if there's a better way.

So, when I move them they move together, and if I want to make clones of the pair, it's less work and consistent results.

Thanks!

Explore the buttons Anchors properties.  This can be used to tie two objects to each other.

you can also use the onclick operation of a timage and do the mouse position math yourself to get down to a pical separation.  I don't have an example but this forum has covered the how to several times.

You could create a Frame and put the buttons on there, aligned to the frame with border spacing set to what you want.
