You can design any kind of 32-bit applicationfrom general—purpose utilities to sophisticated data access programs or distributed applications. 

As you visually design the user interface for your application, the Form Designer generates the underlying Delphi code to support the application. As you select and modify the properties of components and forms, the results of those changes appear automatically in the source code, and vice versa. You can modify the source files directly with any text editor, including the built-in Code editor. The changes you make are immediately reflected in the visual environment. 

You can create your own components using the Delphi language. Most of the components provided are written in Delphi. You can add components that you write to the Tool palette and customize the palette for your use by including new tabs if needed. 

Creating applications introduces support for different types of applications.
