I would like to do this (see attachment) inside a TTabSheet. Do I need
to put a panel? I'm also having difficulties placing the components
like in the picture. Ignore the 4 buttons at the bottom. Any
suggestions? Thanks!

No, you don't need panel. You need anchoring. Anchor the components to
the sides of the TTabSheet.

I don't use a TPageControl since it's already inside a tabsheet. Would
this pagecontrol add tabs within a tab sheet?

The trouble I have is how to split the panel in two, with the port at
the bottom, so I ended up with this: I use 2 panels: 1 for the top
(mode, timeout Pad at left, EOS at right), the bottom is used by the
port ComboBox. Within the top panel, another panel is used for the
controls mode, timeout Pad at left. At the right, the EOS fills up the
remaining space.

Unless it can be done with anchors only, I can't figure what to anchor
with where. Can this be made simpler?

Thanks!

This took me only a while. It's pure anchoring and childsizing. Maybe
it can be done even better. Of course, when you change anchors, you
can decide which groupbox will be enlarged/shrinked when you resize
whole form. Anyway, no panel needed.

@jpelletier
Sorry for being off topic, but could you please tell me from which
application is your tabbed screenshot? I use GPIO, I2C, SPI and 1wire
a lot so it would interest me to take a look.
