Harbour/Clipper classes name

Post by srvet_claudio »

A silly question:
someone knows why by convention the Harbour/Clipper classes generally use the prefix T in the name ?
e.g. TBrowse

PD: in C++, Java, etc. by convention the prefix in the name of classes is C ("C"lass).

I am not sure and it's just a speculation, but the same thing was happening in Delphi when i was using that.All the classes were being used with the "T" in front.
Maybe it comes from T for type? So TBrowse = object of Type Browse.

Anyway its just my random thought :D

My quess : "T" is last letter of "object" :?

Importance is : Harbour support class definition (and all other class based statements and functions) and Clipper not 8-)

Viva Harbour :D

It comes from Borland compiler's GUI framework.
Some early clipper clones like C3 emulated that class hierachy.
