In Delphi (XE2 through to XE5), how can one programmatically add a target platform to a project?
By "programmatically", I mean through the OpenTools API, as opposed to a transform of the .dproj file. This is to be done inside an IDE Wizard/Expert.
I've looked at the ToolsAPI unit, and it appears you can get the active platform, and the list of supported platforms, but there is nothing obvious for adding a new target platform.
It seems that this is possible. The unit you need to look in is PlatformAPI
. The interface that has what you need is:
{ Provides information on platform-specific information held by a project }
IOTAProjectPlatforms160 = interface(IInterface)
['{E1C62726-BD51-4D4E-A2F2-9A8A59F272AE}']
{ Add an available platform to the project }
procedure AddPlatform(const PlatformName: string);
{ Return the currently active platform key }
function CurrentPlatform: string;
{ Return enabled state of the requested platform }
function GetEnabled(const PlatformName: string): Boolean;
{ Return an array of strings representing the enabled platforms for a project }
function GetEnabledPlatforms: TArray<string>;
{ Return the profile name associated with the specified platform }
function GetProfile(const PlatformName: string): string;
{ Does the project support platform specified by PlatformName? }
function GetSupported(const PlatformName: string): Boolean;
{ Return an array of strings representing the valid platforms for a project }
function GetSupportedPlatforms: TArray<string>;
{ Set a platform as disabled for this project (cannot be made active) }
procedure SetEnabled(const PlatformName: string; Value: Boolean);
{ Set the profile name for the specified platform. Pass an empty string to
clear the profile }
procedure SetProfile(const PlatformName, ProfileName: string);
{ Indicate the specified platform is supported or not }
procedure SetSupported(const PlatformName: string; Value: Boolean);
{ Return whether or not the profile associated with PlatformName is the default profile
for that platform }
function UsingDefaultProfile(const PlatformName: string): Boolean;
property EnabledPlatforms: TArray<string> read GetEnabledPlatforms;
property Enabled[const PlatformName: string]: Boolean read GetEnabled write SetEnabled;
property Profile[const PlatformName: string]: string read GetProfile write SetProfile;
property Supported[const PlatformName: string]: Boolean read GetSupported write SetSupported;
property SupportedPlatforms: TArray<string> read GetSupportedPlatforms;
end;
The AddPlatform
method appears to be your guy.
Note that I've not attempted to call the method. In fact all I did was search for the word platform in the tools API source folder.
