Comprehensive list of all possible AppType values in DPROJ file?

The Delphi DPROJ file contains an AppType XML tag-pair, for example:

<AppType>Application</AppType>

...where the value of AppType could be: 'Application', 'Library', 'Package', etc. etc.

Where is a comprehensive list of all possible AppType values?

Also, in some cases, the AppType XML tag-pair is missing or is empty in the DPROJ file. What are the conditions to make the AppType XML tag missing from the DPROJ file?

Solution

  • There are some constants declared in ToolsAPI.pas:

      { Default IDE application/project types }
  sApplication = 'Application';
  sLibrary = 'Library';
  sConsole = 'Console';
  sPackage = 'Package';
  sStaticLibrary = 'StaticLibrary';
  sOptionSet = 'OptionSet';
//  sAndroidService = 'AndroidService';

    This list may be extended in the future.
