Smooth resizing on a form / borderless window in Delphi

I am trying to resize without borders, but when I increase the size using the right / bottom side, I get a gap between the border and the old client area, which depends on the speed of the mouse movement.

The effect is more noticeable when you resize from the left border or even from the bottom corner, it is horrible everywhere (I tried with other commercial applications, and this also happens). This effect also occurs when I move to a significant border, but it is not as terrible as when removing the borders of the form

The form layout consists of a top panel that acts as a title (with some buttons and buttons), and some other panels display other information (for example, a note, other controls, etc.)

There is a snippet of my code where I grab the mouse button and send a message to the windows, but I also tried to do it manually with similar results

Activating the double buffer for the top panel avoids flickering, but resizing the panel does not synchronize with the resizing, thus, a gap or part of the panel appears, disappearing

 procedure TOutputForm.ApplicationEvents1Message( var Msg: tagMSG;
  var Handled: Boolean );
const
  BorderBuffer = 5;
var
  X, Y: Integer;
  ClientPoint: TPoint;
  direction: integer;
begin
  Handled := false;
  case Msg.message of
    WM_LBUTTONDOWN:
      begin
        if fResizable then
        begin
          if fSides = [sTop] then
            direction := 3
          else if fSides = [sLeft] then
            direction := 1
          else if fSides = [sBottom] then
            direction := 6
          else if fSides = [sRight] then
            direction := 2
          else if fSides = [sRight, sTop] then
            direction := 5
          else if fSides = [sLeft, sTop] then
            direction := 4
          else if fSides = [sLeft, sBottom] then
            direction := 7
          else if fSides = [sRight, sBottom] then
            direction := 8;
          ReleaseCapture;
          SendMessage( Handle, WM_SYSCOMMAND, ( 61440 + direction ), 0 );
          Handled := true;
        end;
      end;
    WM_MOUSEMOVE:
      begin
        // Checks the borders and sets fResizable to true if it in a "border" 
        // ...
      end; // mousemove
  end; // case
end;

How can I avoid redrawing this area and / or forced windows? I use Delphi, but a general solution (or in another language) or even a direction for promotion would be good for me

Thank you in advance
