In computing, Component Library for Cross Platform (CLX), is a cross-platform visual component-based framework for developing Microsoft Windows and Linux applications. It is developed by Borland for use in its Kylix, Delphi, and C++ Builder software development environment. There is a Microsoft Windows-only equivalent of CLX called VCL (Visual Component Library).

In terms of object-oriented approach, the CLX forms a object hierarchy where the TObject class serves as the base class. All other classes inherit or indirectly inherit the TObject class. This is necessary as Delphi does not support multiple inheritance, unlike C++. This is a common approach shared by the Java programming language, Smalltalk, and many other object-oriented programming languages.

CLX is based on Qt by Trolltech.
