Visual Component Library
Visual Component Library (programming)VCL A application framework library forMicrosoft Windows and Borland Software Corp.'s Delphiand C++Builder rapid application development software.VCL was originally designed for Delphi but is now also usedfor C++Builder. This replaces OWL Object Windows Libraryas Borland's Windows C++ framework of choice. VCLencapsulates the C-based Win32 API into a much easier touse, object-oriented form. Like its direct rival,Microsoft Foundation Class Library (MFC), VCL includesclasses to create Windows programs.
The VCL component class can be inherited to create new VCLcomponents, which are the building blocks of Delphi andC++Builder applications. VCL components are somewhat incompetition with ActiveX controls, though a VCL wrapper canbe created to make an ActiveX control seem like a VCLcomponent.
