TSplitter problems

Ive two panels separated by a vertical splitter on a form.
Left panel and splitter are both aligned alLeft, the other panel is aligned
alClient
The user is allowed to hide or display each of the panels - the remaining
panel stretches or shrinks according to number on screen.
Im having problems with the TSplitter aligning itself to the left of the
lefthand panel, instead of between the panels, at run-time after one or more
of the panels are made invisible/visible.
How do you ensure that the splitter component aligns correctly at run-time?
Its probs something to do with Z order, but Ive tried dynamic
creation/destruction of the splitter and it doesnt seem to make any
difference

I've run into this. It's annoying, but the fix is pretty simple:
Override the form's AlignControls method, call inherited, then set the
Left property of your left panel to 0.

Many thanks Craig.
Looked through the help file after sending post, it seemed to suggest one
should force the Left property of the splitter before setting alignment. It
seems to be working so far.
