Project

This is one of the Automation objects, exposed in VFP 6, that give us programmatic access to projects and their contents. Every time a project opens, a corresponding project object is created. The Projects collection is composed of Project objects. (Doesn't that have a nice ring to it—"project object"?)

Property	Value	Purpose
AutoIncrement	Logical	Indicates whether the project's version number is incremented every time the project is built.
BuildDateTime	DateTime	Contains the date and time of the most recent build of the project.
Debug	Logical	Indicates whether debugging information is stored with the project.
Encrypted	Logical	Indicates whether compiled source code in the project is encrypted to provide a measure of extra security.
HomeDir	Character	Contains the path to the home directory for the project.
Icon	Character	Contains the file name for the icon used for an EXE built from the project.
MainClass	Character	If an ActiveDoc is the main object for the project, contains the name of the ActiveDoc class.
MainFile	Character	If a form or program is the main object for the project, contains its file name. If an ActiveDoc is the main object, contains the name of the class library containing the ActiveDoc class.
Name	Character	Contains the path and file name for the project.
ProjectHook	Object	If a project hook has been created for the project, contains a reference to it.
ProjectHookClass, ProjectHookLibrary	Character	If the project has a project hook, contain the class name and class library name, respectively.
SCCProvider	Character	Contains the name of the source control provider for the project.
ServerHelpFile	Character	If the project contains server classes, contains the name of a help file for the type library for those classes.
ServerProject	Character	If the project contains server classes, contains the name assigned to the project for Automation purposes. This is used along with the actual class name to instantiate the server classes. By default, this is the same as the project name.
TypeLibCLSID	Character	If the project contains server classes, contains the unique ID created for registering the type library for those classes.
TypeLibDesc	Character	If the project contains server classes, the description for the type library for those classes.
TypeLibName	Character	If the project contains server classes, the name of the type library for those classes.
VersionComments	Character	The comments from the Version dialog.
VersionCompany	Character	The company name from the Version dialog.
VersionCopyright	Character	The legal copyright information from the Version dialog.
VersionDescription	Character	The file description from the Version dialog.
VersionLanguage	Numeric	The language ID from the Version dialog.
VersionNumber	Character	The three-part version number from the Version dialog.
VersionProduct	Character	The product name from the Version dialog.
VersionTrademarks	Character	The legal trademarks from the Version dialog.

Method	Purpose
Build	Rebuilds the project or builds the project into an APP, EXE, or DLL.
CleanUp	Packs a project file, optionally stripping the object code.
Close	Closes the project.
Refresh	Updates the visual display of the project and can update the source control status.
SetMain	Sets a file or class as the main object for the project.

Most of the property values for a project can be found somewhere in the Project Manager, though some are pretty well hidden. A lot of the information, including server information, is in the Project Info dialog. You get to the various VersionWhatever properties by pressing the Version button in the Build dialog. At runtime, all the version information is available by calling AGetFileVersion() in VFP 6 and later or FoxTool's GetFileVersion() in VFP 5.
