Delphi Resizing Form messes up components

I created my form and it looks fine in the standard size when ran with the program, however when I maximize the form, the components get messed up. I anchored the components on the left and right, however a giant gap is created in the middle of the form and I don't know how to fix it. When in the 'Design' view of the program, all my components are touching from me trying to fill the middle gap. I tried aligning, anchoring and searched online for a while with no luck. Any clue? Form in standard size upon running program: In the standard form size upon running program

Form in full screen with giant middle gap: Full screen of the form. Random giant gap in mid

From the form's OnResize event, you can compute the width and left property values for the component to fit the new size. You can adjust the width of components or distribute the distance between components to get the look you want. Or a combination of the two.

It is also possible to put the components on two lines if the form's width becomes too small. Or use a scroll panel so that the user can scroll to see what is not possible to show correctly given the width.

All that requires coding. Parts can be done using panels and align the panels.
