At least it will feel like it had cross platform support in mind. But I now
understand that those Win API methods are only used by developers that
don't port components correctly (lazy buggers). So I will not bother with
those for the LCL-fpGUI widgetset, instead I'll only work on the higher LCL
interface. Lets see how far I get. :)

There are wiki pages on how to implement LCL backend widgetsets. Other than
that, I often reference the LCL-qt implementation as that seems like the
most modern implementation.
