The post [WayBack] Why is my buttons not created in logical order? If I run this, my buttons area created ACB rather than ABC as I expected… – Johan Swart – Google+ reminded me the trouble of Delphi VCL and FMX have with alignment.
Basically you have to position your control away from your intended alignment position in order for it to work. So this fails:
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
myToolBar: TToolBar;
myCornerButton: TCornerButton;
i: Integer;
begin
myToolBar := TToolbar.Create(Self);
myToolBar.Parent := Self;
for i := 0 to 2 do
begin
myCornerButton := TCornerButton.Create(tbarGrid);
myCornerButton.Parent := myToolBar;
myCornerButton.Align := TAlignLayout.Left;
myCornerButton.Text := Chr(65 + I);
end;
end;
Basically you have to set myCornerButton.Left to 1 before setting the Align property.
Similar for the Top property and TAlignLayout.Top value.
The same holds for VCL Align values alLeft with setting the Left property and alTop with setting the Top property before setting Align.
See these for the actual properties and types:

On the data team here at Stack Overflow, we spend a lot of time and energy thinking about tech ecosystems and how technologies are related to each other. We use these kinds of relationships all over the place, from making the user experience of everyone coming to Stack Overflow better by suggesting relevant content to helping our clients understand how to hire developers. One way to get at this idea of relationships between technologies is tag correlations. Correlation between tags measures how often tags appear together relative to how often they appear separately. You can check out one of the chapters of my book (written with fellow Stack Overflow data scientist Dave Robinson) for more detailed discussion of this.
