Detailed Description

Symbol class.

Library: ilog

Rogue Wave Views occasionally requires string constants to manipulate specific entities, and uses a generic manner of handling unique strings within a given application. The strings are called symbols, and are managed by the IlSymbol class. You must use the global function IlGetSymbol() to get an existing symbol or create a new one.
