Ok, thanks. I have removed all of those references, except for one
because the following code is using it:

if FBorderStyle = bsSingle then
    begin
      if Ctl3D then
        Border := SM_CXEDGE
      else
        Border := SM_CXBORDER;
      NewWidth := NewWidth + 2 * GetSystemMetrics(BORDER);
    end;

So I just created that property, instead of inheriting it, and I kept it there.
Everything now works fine, but the maintainer of CPortLaz should fix
the code on the Lazarus CCR.
Anyone knows him?

thanks again,

  Roberto
