Using a TForm you can program based in a containers style using
alignment and anchors (advanced anchoring, not the Delphi one).

So you can insert a panel with aligment top, and autosize on, now add
a label with a caption and autosize on, now add a textbox to input
data and anchor it to the left of the label and to the top of the
label, so if your label is bigger the textbox is moved to the right.

It is not exactly the same as GTK or other container oriented
interfaces but it is doable.

Anyway this should be more Lazarus/LCL related.
