For those using Kylix. I may want to transfer my apps to Linux in the
future.
Are all the built-in components in Delphi available in Kylix? Such as
the Win32 component TreeView. I would like to write my apps to be as
portable as possible. Any other hints are welcome.
Cheers,
Ross.
Disclaimer: I don't have access to Kylix.
You need to use the CLX library in delphi 6. No I wouldn't think that
Kylix has any Win32 components at all.
However I am sure there are equivalents in the CLX libraries for this type
of functionality. All CLX units are
prefaced with a Q. Don't use

components, moving to Kylix won't be a problem. But, if you are
calling the kernel using WinAPI then most definitely it will fail.
Borland has tried to map the WinVCL components 100% with
LinCLX. Actually they claim that a VCL

To be portable from D6 to Kylix you'd have to use the clx component set - ie

like ttreeview and tdatetimepicker at this point don't exist! There seems to
be a dirth of 3rd party clx components at this point - try polling the
vendors
I'd be surprised if someone doesn't fill the void
