Title: About the global APP variable
Post by: Jean-Pierre LEROY on December 28, 2008, 03:18:34 PM

Hello Paul,

It seems that I can use the internal data items via the global APP variable in my program, even if later I tick the CheckBox 'Omit Version Information from Resource File'.

So I have two questions :

Q1. is-it intentional or not ?
Q2. is-it reliable for the upcomming versions ?

It could be useful to complete the help file with this information.

Thanks
Jean-Pierre

Hi Jean-Pierre,

This is intentional. The reason for the "Omit Version Information..." checkbox is to exclude the information from the resource file. This prevents it from showing when someone displays the Properties of your compiled EXE file. The data is always accessible via the App variable. It is the programmer's responsibility to know when to use or not use the data via the App variable.
