Software Engineering 2504 views

This is a preliminary effort to map Borland's VCL classes to similar or equivalent Be's BeOS classes. The VCL information was obtained from the Delphi 4 and C++Builder 4 help files, whereas the BeOS information came from the Be Book for R4.5.

The following VCL classes have been mapped, so far:

Buttons -
TBitBtn
ColorGrd -
TColorGrid
ComCtrls -
TListItem, TListView, TPageControl, TProgressBar, TTabControl, TTabSheet, TTrackBar, TTreeView
Controls -
TControl
ExtCtrls -
TShape
Forms -
TForm, TScreen, TScrollBox
Graphics -
TFont, TMetafile
Menus -
TMainMenu, TMenuItem, TPopupMenu
Outline -
TOutline
StdCtrls -
TButton, TCheckBox, TComboBox, TEdit, TGroupBox, TMemo, TRadioButton, TScrollBar
Windows -
Rect, TPoint
