Reading Resource file info

[Douglas McDonald]

I did a search but didn't see anything. How do I read the resource file. I want to get the info thats in the projects properties.

Code Select Expand


Begin
  BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
  Begin
    BLOCK "040904E4"
    Begin
      VALUE "CompanyName",  "ECD\0"
     
      VALUE "FileVersion",       "1.0.0.0\0"
      VALUE "ProductVersion",    "1.0.0.0\0"
      VALUE "ProductName",  "program\0"
      VALUE "InternalName",  "program\0"
      VALUE "OriginalFilename",  "program.exe\0"
      VALUE "LegalCopyright",  "my name 2010\0"
     
      VALUE "Comments",  "program\0"
    End


I didn't see anything in the help file ether but this must be very simple.

Thank you
Doug

Look up the APP function. (Similar to VB.)

You could use somehing like this:

Code Select Expand


   Local aName As Asciiz * %MAX_PATH   
   Local aVerInfo As Asciiz *20
   Local aInfo As Asciiz * %MAX_PATH
   Local aDescr As Asciiz * %MAX_PATH
   
   aName=app.productname     
   aVerInfo= "v. " & Format$(app.ProductMajor) & "." & Format$(app.ProductMinor) & _
          "." & Format$(app.ProductRevision) & " Rev. " & Format$(app.FileBuild) 
   aInfo=app.LegalCopyright 
   aDescr = app.FileDescription

Info on the App variable is located in the Help file under "Special Functions".

Ok thanks. I thought I saw it once someplace but doing a search revealed nothing. I'll take a look there.

Thanks
