Using LEdit with C++ OWL

TLEdit includes nearly all LEdit functionality. This is a base element of OWL wrapper. It includes a set of methods and data members that control LEdit appearence and functinality and also a set of virtual functions that may be overriden in case you need to do syntax highlight, background drawing and so on. TLEdit is fully streamable, which allows to make LEdit persistent. TLEdit responds to many menu commans, which allows to organize its interactions with application's main form.

TLEditFile inherites nearly all its functionality from TLEdit. It adds only few things needed to handle files internally, like storing file name and file filter, having File Open and File Save dialogs, responding to file-handling menu commands and so on. It is also fully streamable.

TLEditView has all necessary functionality to be used as a view in applications with the document/view architecture. It may be easily inserted in such applications instead of TEditView in literally few minutes. However it has lesser performance than TLEdit or TLEditFile because it overrides internal file-managing functinality of LEdit with its own functions dealing with C++ streams.
