Editing Visual Component Library (section)

A cross-platform equivalent of the VCL, called [[Component Library for Cross Platform|CLX]] (Component Library for Cross Platform), was later developed for use in [[Delphi (programming language)|Delphi]], [[C++Builder]] and [[Kylix programming tool|Kylix]] in 2000–2001. However, it was abandoned.

A second cross-platform framework, [[FireMonkey]], was integrated into Delphi and C++Builder XE2 in 2011. FireMonkey is a vector-based WPF-like framework for UIs on Windows, OSX, iOS and Android.

The [[Lazarus (IDE)|Lazarus]] project has a portable (*nix, OS/X, Win32/64+wince) equivalent called [[Lazarus (IDE)#Lazarus Component Library|LCL]], which was already working when Kylix and CLX emerged. The project maintained its course and ignored Kylix (and later FMX).

[[OpenOffice.org]] and thus [[LibreOffice]] contain an unrelated graphic library called ''Visual Class Library'' (VCL).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.openoffice.org/gsl/vcl/ |title=Visual Class Library (VCL) Module |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130520093243/https://www.openoffice.org/gsl/vcl/ |archive-date=May 20, 2013 |website=OpenOffice |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://docs.libreoffice.org/vcl.html |title=Visual Class Library (VCL) |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250327201036/https://docs.libreoffice.org/vcl.html |archive-date=March 27, 2025 |website=LibreOffice |url-status=live}}</ref>
