They exist because the same VCL is shared between both Delphi and BCB, but
the VCL is written in Delphi Pascal, not C++.  They are legal in Delphi,
because Delphi Pascal has different rules regarding how objects are created
than C++ does.  Being written in Pascal, the VCL in BCB follows the Delphi
rules, not the C++ rules.  That is why those events are dangerous to use in
C++ but not in Delphi.

The OnActivate event is not a constructor.  Not only that, it can be
triggered multiple times, so you have to watch out for that.

The OnClose event is not always guaranteed to be triggered.  There are
situations where it is skipped, so your clean up code would not be called at
all.  That is why I told you to use the actual destructor instead.

It seems to me that you are focusing too much on the Object Inspector and
not enough on the actual code.

The message you are catching does not support those buttons in the first
place.  It only supports the first four buttons.

Rather than using the Joystick API, I would suggest you use DirectX instead,
specially DirectInput.  Microsoft even says that the Joystick API has been
superseded by DirectInput because it has more features for supporting modern
technology.
