The ComponentStyle property or DelphiVCL.Application.ComponentStyle is used to govern the behavior of the component when you are carrying out Windows development.
ComponentStyle governs how the component interacts with the streaming system and the Object Inspector.
The DoApplicationIdle method or DelphiVCL.Application.DoApplicationIdle is used to process messages in the Message queue for certain events as part of your Windows development.
The DoApplicationIdle method forces a call to the protected method TApplication.Idle. Idle triggers the event OnIdle, processes the events OnMouseEnter and OnMouseLeave, and updates the hints.
