No. The VCL functions are not compatible. I tried to mean some functions in 
Lua's way (lua_CFunction) calling the VCL functions. But in an automated 
way (you do not have to register all object's functions by hand).

Exactly. Now we have to choose the way we will follow:

1 - TRY to use the current classes or;
2 - Create new wrapper classes/functions that will handle the Lua -> Pascal 
-> Lua process.

And, of course, which OO we will try to emulate in Lua (heavily discussed 
in this mailing list :-)  )

That is what i thought ;)
