Files that make up a Delphi project)

Do you know all the files contained in the default Delphi project?

Let's take a look.

Step 1. OpenDelphi7, Select 【File | new | Application] To create a default Delphi application;

Step 2. Select 【File | save all], Save our default Delphi Program to an independent folder (for example, c: \ firsttest;

Step 3. Press 【F9] Run our program and exit;

Step 4. OpenWindows Resource ManagerOpen the saved folder (for example, c: \ firsttest), for example:

Note

Extension (~) The initial file is a backup file. Based on the number of source files in the project and the Set project options (OPTIONS ...), Delphi can generate several backup files.

The folder contains8Files, which are required to form the default Delphi application:

In English, the Help File of Delphi7 is directly queried. I hope you can have a better translation.
