pascal snipplets
          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       
          This is where I dump pascal snipplets I might forget about.
       
          NOTE: 
              These two below pertain to various ways of accessing the 
              underlying Qt mechanism of LCL controls  - obviously you 
              will need  to configure your lazarus project as a Qt app
              for this to work.
       
              If you're on a non-windows platform, and you're using the Qt 
              build of lazarus,  then this is the default,  and you  don't 
              have to change anything.
       
              If not, you'll have to make sure to set the LCL widget set to 
              Qt in your project options. 
       
              (TODO: I should probably add a guide on how to do that  for 
                     people on Windows, as Lazarus does not ship with the 
                     Qt binding DLLs on windows by default I think, but I
                     haven't tested given as I don't use Windows).

  TEXT  Lazarus: embedding a custom qt stylesheet into the application and using it.
