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.).
