Explain about Delphi`s VCL?

Delphi is easier to use rather than the API`s. It has strong windows connection and Borland has made things possible for portability on windows. It has a strong library and it maps windows 32. It supports API`s for properties and events. Borland is taking enough measures for back portability for windows.

VCL (Visual Component Library) is a visual component-based object-oriented framework for developing Microsoft Windows applications. It was developed by Borland for use in, and tightly integrated with, its Delphi and C++ Builder RAD tools (now owned by CodeGear, division of Embarcadero Technologies). It is written in Object Pascal.

A cross-platform equivalent of the VCL, called CLX (Component Library for Cross Platform), was later developed for use in Delphi, C++ Builder and Kylix. It was however abandoned in favor of the VCL
