Multiplatform Tools: 
Brief Description of XVT POWER ++ CLASSES

Application Framework:
 
Divide the work in an application into program control, 
data storage  and managemant and data display

CApplication, CDocument, CView


Atomic: 

Provide many data structuring features used by GUI applications, 
such as rectangle intersection, union, and translation

CFloat, CPoint, CRect, CUnits, 
RWBitVec, RWCString, RWCSubSubstring, RWWSubString

Collections:

Inherited from Rogue Wave's Tools.H 
Provide a complete library of collection classes, modeled after the Smalltalk
programming environment: 
for example, set, bag, ordered - collection, dictionary, stack and queue. 
All classes support isomorphic persistance, 
allowing not only objects but also their structure to be stored. 
An object need only inherit from the abstract base class RWCollection 
to make use of this power.

CFloatRWC, CStringRW, CStringCollection, 
CSparseArray, CStringCollectionRWC, CPointRWC, CRectRWC, 
RWCollection, 
RWBag, RWBinaryTree, RWCTree, RWBTreeDictionary, 
RWHashTable, RWSet, 
RWIdentifySet, RWHashDictionary, RIdentifyDictionary, RWSequenceable, 
RWDlistCollectables, RWOrdered, RWSortedVector, RWSlistCollectables, 
RWSlistCollectablesQueue, RWSlistCollectablesStack 

Controls:

Correspond to the XVT Portability Toolkit control objects, 
providing the means of communication between the application 
and the user operating the mouse.

CNativeView, Nbutton, NCheckBox,NScrollBar, NRadioGroup, NWinScrollBar, 
CNativeSelectList, NEditControl, NGroupBox, Nicon, NListEdit, 
NListButton, NListBox, Ntext

Event Handling:

Receive and dispatch events to all appropriate objects

CSwitchBoard

Files:

Provide classes for file I/O

RWFile, RWFileManager, RWBTreeOnDisc, RWCacheManager


Generic:

Provide stacks, queues, vectors and singly - and doubly - linked lists. 
Uses  so classas are portable even to compilers 
that do not support templates.

RWGBitVec(size), RWGDlist(type), RWGDistIterator(type), 
RWGOrderedVector(val), RWGQueueu(type), RWGSlist(type), 
RWGSlistterator(type), RWGSortedVector(val), 
RWGStack(type), RWGVector(val)


Icons:

Draw icon resources and inhabit all view functionally
CIcon, CButtonIcon, CSelectIcon


Images:

Provide the availability to use portable images and to display pictures.
CImage, CPicture


Iterators:

Provide a variety of iterators.
CSparseArrayIterator, CSparseCollterator, CSparseRowIterator, 
CRevOrdIterator, RWBagIterators, RWBinaryTreeIterator, 
RWDlistCollectablesIterator, RWSlistCollectablesIterators


Locales:

Provide classes to facilitate localization 
(e.g., of times, dates, numbers, currency, and time zones)

RWLocale, RWLocaleDefault, RWLocaleSnapshot, RWZone, RWZoneSimple


Menus:

Handle all menu states and display command to the appropriate objects

CMenu, CMenuBar, CMenuItem,CSubMenu


Model-View-Controller:

Provide flexible support for the MVC. 
Instantate many CControllers with many CModels 
providing an unlimited number of interdependance 

CController, CControllerMgr, CModel, CNotifier


Moving and Sizing:

Draw and glue views, size and draw views, 
establish local coordinate systems and clipping properties.

CWireFrame, CSketchPad, CGlue, 
CVerticalWireFrame, CHorizontalWireFrame


Panning:

Serve as containers in which other objects are displayed and manipulated.

CVirtualFrame, CScroller, CListBox


Resources:

Implement resource instantation capabilities.

CResource, CResourceItem, CResourceMenu, 
CResourceMgr, CResourceWindow


Run-Time Typing:

Support Run-Time Type Identification.

CTypeInfo


Shapes:

Draw shapes from a set of shapes that have the full functionality 
of all views and that can nest within other views, 
receiving and passing events.

CShape, COval, CCircle, CRectangle, CSquare, CArc, 
CPolygon, CRegularPoly, CLine
