The $ApplicationName macro is replaced by the value specified in the ApplicationName attribute of the profile the code is currently compiled for.

The value of the attribute ApplicationName has no direct effect on the function of the GUI application. It allows you however to specify a unique identifier for the application which depending on the selected Platform Package can be evaluated during the following build process (e.g. within your make file). It can for example be used to name the resulting executable file. See also the description of the environment variables in PostProcess attribute.

If the attribute ApplicationName is not explicitly specified, the macro is empty.
