Using Delphi 4. How to center a button on a panel?

[Anthony Servito]

Does anybody know how to center a button on a panel at runtime while form
is being shown and/or resize.
This panel is on a PageControl with tabsheets. I don't have any problem if
the tabsheet(where the panel is located) is the active sheet of the page
control - The button is in the center. But when the tabsheet is the the
active sheet the button will not be center when the tabsheet is make active
at runtime then resizing the form.

I'm using Delphi 4 and I was hoping that a property called Anchors will
help.

OnResize
begin
with MyButton do
begin
Left := (Parent.Width - Width) div 2;
Top := (Parent.Height - Height) div 2;
end;
end;

Will Anchors property work?

And what if I have two buttons?

Anthony,

Anchors won't work for you. It will keep the button centered, but it
will stretch it as the form grows.

So what should I do if you have 2 buttons side by side. How do I keep them
in the center if parent is resize.

tnx in advance.

Simple way:

As I understand, you have a panel with some buttons?
Let's name this panel Panel1.

Drop on Panel1 another TPanel (Panel2) and place buttons on Panel2.
Now you can center Panel2 and dont worry about buttons.
