Borland's OWL

Borland's OWL programming environment is suimialr to Microsoft's MFC environment, with just enough differences to be a nuisance.

The base classes all begin with the letter T.

The TApplication Class

The application is driven by an instance of a class derived from TApplication . The main loop takes the form. 
int OWLMain( int /* argc */, char * /* argv */)
{
	TMywindow  app;

	return app.Run();
}

Widgets

OWL provides control widgets justs as does MFC.

  1. TStatic: Label
  2. TEdit: edit box.
  3. TListbox: List box
  4. TGroupBox: For grouping related controls such as
  5. TRadioButton
  6. TButton
