This code is not very compatible with the new AutoSize, and may cause 
other problems.

But this should not be a problem, as long as the code generator and LCL 
is provided and maintained by the same "authority".

A reasonable point! :-)

Nonetheless the visibility of the component properties cannot be reduced 
much. It must stay public, so that the properties are accessible in 
AfterCreate. The same with Frames...
