I'm trying to replicate what is done by MS SQL Managment Studio like asked in [here|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13909756/how-to-resize-controls-beyond-parents-client-area]

Is there anyone that can help me solving this headache???

I have a ScrollBox, and in there, i create as many panels/splitters as i need based on the number of query executed.

Here is just a try, but i can't make it work as i want. once panels have reached the client area, i'm not able to resize them any bigger that the main form client area.

unit Unit1;

interface

uses
Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants, System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics,
Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs, Vcl.StdCtrls, Vcl.ExtCtrls;

type
tDataBlock = class(TComponent)
fPanel: TPanel;
fLabel: TLabel;
fSplitter: TSplitter;
fOwner: TWinControl;

published
property Panel: TPanel read fPanel write fPanel;
property Text: TLabel read fLabel write fLabel;
property Owner: TWinControl read fOwner write fOwner;
public
constructor Create(Owner: TWinControl; var t: integer);
end;

TForm1 = class(TForm)
ScrollBox1: TScrollBox;
Button1: TButton;
Panel1: TPanel;
FlowPanel1: TFlowPanel;
procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
private
BlockCount: integer;
procedure ConfigureScreen;
{ Private declarations }
public
{ Public declarations }
end;

var
Form1: TForm1;

implementation

{$R *.dfm}

procedure TForm1.ConfigureScreen;
var i: integer;
TotalHeight: integer;
begin
TotalHeight := 0;
for I := 0 to ScrollBox1.ComponentCount - 1 do begin
if ScrollBox1.Components[i] is TPanel then
TotalHeight := TotalHeight + TPanel(ScrollBox1.Components[i]).Height;
if ScrollBox1.Components[i] is TSplitter then
TotalHeight := TotalHeight + TSplitter(ScrollBox1.Components[i]).Height;

end;

ScrollBox1.VertScrollBar.Range := TotalHeight;
end;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
I: Integer;
db: tDataBlock;
t: integer;
begin
t := 0;
BlockCount := 0;
for I := 0 to 3 do begin
db := tDataBlock.Create(ScrollBox1, t);
Inc(BlockCount);
end;

ConfigureScreen;

end;

{ tDataBlock }

constructor tDataBlock.Create(Owner: TWinControl; var t: integer);
begin
fOwner := Owner;

fPanel := TPanel.Create(Owner);
fPanel.Parent := Owner;
fPanel.Height := 150;
fPanel.Top := t;
fPanel.Align := alTop;
fPanel.AlignWithMargins := false;
fPanel.Color := clRed;
fPanel.ParentBackground := false;
fPanel.BorderWidth := 0;
fPanel.BorderStyle := bsNone;
fPanel.Ctl3D := false;
fPanel.AutoSize := false;
fPanel.UseDockManager := false;
t := fPanel.Top + Panel.Height + 1;

fLabel := TLabel.Create(self);
fLabel.Parent := fPanel;
fLabel.Align := altop;
fLabel.Caption := inttostr(fPanel.Height);
fLabel.Font.Size := 10;

fSplitter := TSplitter.Create(Owner);
fSplitter.Parent:= Owner;
fSplitter.Height := 3;
fsplitter.Top := t;
fSplitter.AutoSnap := false;
fSplitter.AlignWithMargins := false;
fSplitter.MinSize := 1;
fSplitter.Align := alTop;

t := fSplitter.Top + fSplitter.Height + 1;

end;

end.

Anyone that might help me here?

Thanks
