Talk:Visual Component Library

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] What's it all about?

Is there anything visual about the VCL? Are any components noteworthy enough to be discussed on Wikipedia? Is the VCL one library, and if so, is it finished? Is there a catalog for it? D021317c 23:53, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

VCL contains all the basic UI classes - things like forms, buttons, listboxes, etc. Barry Kelly (talk) 17:20, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] TObject

Presently, the article states that: "The VCL forms an object hierarchy where all other objects inherit or indirectly inherit the TObject class" Is this actually true? I always thought that TObject is the root class in object model of Component Pascal, and VCL is a separate library which builds on that, with TComponent being its root class. -- int19h (talk) 11:11, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

The VCL is part of Delphi, aka Object Pascal. It's not Component Pascal. The root of Delphi's inheritance hierarchy is indeed TObject. Barry Kelly (talk) 17:21, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
