Programming Kylix with the CLXDisplay API
An example app is created to show what is happening internally in a Kylix application. The author shows how to create a minimal VisualCLX application and extend it using the low-level CLXDisplay API. There was no visual development here -- all controls were built at runtime, as in any traditional language.
VCL versus CLX
This paper will look at the new CLX library that ships with all versions of Kylix and also with Delphi 6 and later. Delphi developers are familiar with the VCL, the Windows-only component library.
