[DUG] Resizing forms

[Jeremy North]

Check out the Anchors property. If you have D2006 also experiement
with the Margin and Padding properties.

There is also a pretty good intro article on new container controls in
D2006. They are the FlowPanel and GridPanel controls. There is a demo
on the FlowPanel control that shipped with Delphi. It is a high
quality demo as well.
