application:kind only has two options...

[jwebster]

I want to make my executable close when I press the Quit button, so I'm following the example here...

However, when I wire up the App.Kind Property to the case structure, I'm only given the options

"invalid app kind", Default 

and

 "Development System" 

I haven't found anyone else who had this problem.  The documentation says there should be 6 options...

Am I missing something?

Hi jwebster,

right-click the case structure -> create case for each item…

jeez

thanks, I assumed it would automatically create all of them.

Cheers

Creating a case for each automatically would make things more difficult.  Suppose you had 9 values in an enum, but wanted to group them into groups of 3.  You'd need to delete 6 of the cases one by one as you add the other enums values to the cases they have in common.

Meanwhile to go from a nice start of 2 two cases, it is just one click to create a case for each.

Also, often, I want several values to have very similar cases but with small differences.  It can be easier to duplicate a case and assign it to the new enum value, then make the minor changes to that new case.
