VCL -> LCL Components

[sjoemac]

I have a few questions regarding the current implementation of some of the LCL components as compared to the Delphi VCL components.

For the TCustomStatusBar in the Delphi VCL, there are some functions, such as CreatePanel and CreatePanels, that are useful when subclassing the status bar and using StatusPanels that are subclassed as well.  These functions do not exist in the LCL, however, they could be easily implemented.  I am wondering if there is a particular reason that these functions were left out of the TStatusBar component?  Could I add these and submit a patch?

Thanks in advance

The only reasong I can think of is that it didn't exist in an earlier version of Delphi

Could I add these and submit a patch?
