I have read the information on both listbox and desktoplistbox, understand that listbox is deprecated but I wonder if it is acceptable with program begun and compiled using listbox remains a program that can be distributed. I have a program that has been compiled, uses an installer, INNO setup, installed and runs well on various computers that I’d like to distribute if this is “acceptable”. Comments would be appreciated as I’d prefer not going to desktoplistbox is not necessary.
Thank you.

The above I submitted should include it is a personal program, non-commercial use.
WIth listbox, you may run into bugs that will not be fixed. With DesktopListbox, you avoid that possibility.
I see no reason for not using DesktopListbox with any new app.
For existing, working applications, there is no benefit to updating to the Desktop-prefixed-controls.
If you need Desktop-prefixed-only features like DesktopChart, then remember that you can convert one Window at a time, you don’t need to convert the whole project.
There are some issues with that. For just one example, you won’t be able to assign an “odd man out” DesktopWindow a menu bar. But within that and other limitations, yes it works. 
Thank you Tim, Tim and Jerry for the replies. Clears up the issue for me. I appreciate it.
