Client :: applicationType - Application type property

The property provides the type of application assigned to a client. Usually, the application type is assigned to the main client. The application type set for the main client decides e.g. the way, messages will be displayed to the user.

Besides, each further client might have its own application type, which might differ from the main client's application type.

The property can be changed by calling the setApplicationType() function.

Return value:  Application type ( odaba::ApplicationTypes  )

This option indicates that the application will run as console or windows application.
