Visual Component Library
VCL

   <programming> {VCL} A {application framework} library for
   {Microsoft Windows} and {Borland Software Corp.}'s {Delphi}
   and {C++Builder} {rapid application development} software.
   VCL was originally designed for Delphi but is now also used
   for C++Builder.  This replaces {OWL} {Object Windows Library}
   as Borland's Windows C++ framework of choice.  VCL
   encapsulates the C-based {Win32 API} into a much easier to
   use, {object-oriented} form.  Like its direct rival,
   {Microsoft Foundation Class Library} (MFC), VCL includes
   classes to create Windows programs.

   The VCL component class can be inherited to create new VCL
   components, which are the building blocks of Delphi and
   C++Builder applications.  VCL components are somewhat in
   competition with {ActiveX} controls, though a VCL wrapper can
   be created to make an ActiveX control seem like a VCL
   component.
