Why do you need this exactly? The VCL has its own memory manager, and
expects as much. Overriding the 'new' operator is most commonly done to
provide custom memory management, which I do not recommend you do for VCL
objects.

Because the VCL is written in Delphi, not C++, and as such plays by Delphi
rules. The VCL does not use the 'new' (and 'delete') operators to begin
with, because they are C++ operators, they do not exist in Delphi. The VCL
has its own memory management system that should be used instead. If you
must provide your own memory management for the VCL, then have a look at the
SetMemoryManager() function.
