MSEgui uses a public "tagpo" property in tmsecomponent instead.

Michael Van Canneyt:
"
I've been following the discussion, and the tag property will remain what it
is: a 32-bit integer. It was introduced by Delphi to mimic the Tag property
which exists in VB, to allow it to be used in case statements. Changing it
will probably cause more problems than it will solve.
