Naming Conventions

Naming Conventions

Throughout the documentation, the following naming conventions apply to the API.

The names of types, classes, functions, and macros defined in the Rogue Wave Views library begin with Ilv, for example IlvGraphic.

The names of types and macros not specific to Rogue Wave Views begin with Il, for example IlBoolean.

The names of classes as well as global functions are written as concatenated words with each initial letter capitalized. For example:

class IlvDrawingView;

The names of virtual and regular methods begin with a lowercase letter; the names of static methods start with an uppercase letter. For example:

virtual IlvClassInfo* getClassInfo() const;

static IlvClassInfo* ClassInfo*() const;
