Implementing tag panel controls in Delphi?

Please look at this screenshot.

I think these are the main functions of such a tag panel:

1) Each tag on the panel is a standalone control and can be pressed

2) Automatic wrapping of lines when there is not enough space to display the next tag in the current line.

3) The border of a rounded rectangle for each tag is a nice feature.

I want to implement a similar function in Delphi, is there an existing control for this? If not, what is the best way to implement such control?

Thanks.

There are two possible solutions for custom alignment in Delphi 7. You can create your own flow panel by getting a TCustomPanel and overriding the AlignControls () method, or you can set the alignment in alCustom and handle the OnAlignPosition event.

I think I would go for the TCustomPanel-derived variant. A TFlowPanel in Delphi 2007 form uses this option - I must admit, however, that I have never tried myself ...
