Detailed Description

Classes designed to be used in conjunction with other classes to provide special functionality or behavior.

Mix-in classes are designed not to stand alone, but to be combined with other bases when declaring a new class. The new class is derived through multiple inheritance from the mix-in and other base classes.

For example, if you are building a frame window, you can derive your frame window class from both the base class TFrameWindow and the mix-in class TLayoutWindow to get the additional functionality of layout windows.
