I would liker to place 4 buttons on pagecontrol (where there are no tabs) 
which i did.
How ever whene i use the program on diffrent resolution screen they are 
dislocated.
I used the code:

mainform.windowstate:=wsmaximized;( tried also after next lines!!!)

Button.parent:=pagecontrol1;
Button.top:=pagecontrol1.height-pagecontrol1.tabheight-3;
... more buttons

any idea what to do with screen resolution?

You are using the wrong properties. If you want to place a control in
its parents client area you use the parents ClientHeight and
ClientWidth as base. To wire the button to the pagecontrols lower edge
you would use

 Button.Top := pagecontrol1.Clientheight - button.Height;

for example. It is also important *where* you place this code. Since
the button needs to be moved when its parent changes in size you have
to use the parents OnResize event (if it has one). If it does not have
one use the Onresize event of the parents parent etc..
