This is called "RAD" ("Rapid Application Development")  and a big 
marketing argument of all companies who sold Delphi.

But it is very bad for portability.  Investing some effort, it can be 
overcome, though (see my message to Graeme.)

Lazarus does a great job regarding portability of RAD projects, but it 
mainly has desktop usage in mind and not embedded gadgets.

You obviously are out of luck (As already discussed, additionally to the 
"visual-component" issues, the Event-queue issue will hit you as well. 
To solve this, non-RAD will not be enough.).

There is no shortcut on this way. That is why I recommended to do a 
standard GUI application with Lazarus.
