| TYPE |
| ---- |
| |
| Widget type for entry in GUIs. |
| |
| Cache entry values are always strings, but CMake GUIs present widgets |
| to help users set values. The GUIs use this property as a hint to |
| determine the widget type. Valid ``TYPE`` values are: |
| |
| :: |
| |
| BOOL = Boolean ON/OFF value. |
| PATH = Path to a directory. |
| FILEPATH = Path to a file. |
| STRING = Generic string value. |
| INTERNAL = Do not present in GUI at all. |
| STATIC = Value managed by CMake, do not change. |
| UNINITIALIZED = Type not yet specified. |
| |
| Generally the ``TYPE`` of a cache entry should be set by the command which |
| creates it ( :command:`set`, :command:`option`, :command:`find_library`, etc.). |
