Public Const _Group As String = "Deprecated"

In the project property dialog, "information" tab : set the component 
advancement to "Deprecated".

For components written in C/C++, you must update the *.component file by 
hand.

To see deprecated components in the component list, click on the little 
button located at the top left of the list.

No. This feature will disappear with Wayland I guess, so supporting it 
is worthless.
