Object Windows Library
Encyclopedia : O : OB : OBJ : Object Windows Library
The Object Windows Library (OWL) was a Borland library, which was an object-oriented wrapper around the Win16 (and also Win32) API. It was used in Turbo Pascal for Windows, Borland Pascal and their C++ package.
It was deprecated in favour of Visual Component Library (VCL), which is a part of Borland's Delphi and C++ Builder packages.
A community on the Internet has released a series of patches to the original OWL source code to allow compilation under other compilers (Such as Microsoft Visual C++) and add new features under the project name [OWLNExt].
OWL was introduced in Borland C++ 3.1 for Windows and was included in:
- Borland C++ 3.1
- Borland C++ 4.0
- Borland C++ 4.5
- Borland C++ 5.0 (Win32)
- Borland C++Builder 3
- Borland C++Builder 4
- Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.0
- Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5
- Borland Pascal 7.0
