Hello,
How do I access the Borland Builder project "Version Info" from within the
application?
(To be shown in the application "Info" menu-choice)
And can this version Build number be automatically incremented with each
build?
Regards,
Henk

Thomas,
How is this not a c++ programming question? He's asking how to obtain
the version of the software progrmatically? This is the second time you've
posted this to one of his posts that is programming related.

to match your program.
DWORD VersionHandle;
DWORD VersionSize;
void *pBuffer;
VersionSize = GetFileVersionInfoSize(Application->ExeName.c_str(),
&VersionHandle);
if (VersionSize)
{
pBuffer = new char[VersionSize];
if (GetFileVersionInfo(Application->ExeName.c_str(),VersionHandle,
VersionSize,pBuffer))
{
char *b;
UINT buflen;
if (VerQueryValue(pBuffer,
TEXT("\\StringFileInfo\\040904E4\\FileVersion"),
(void** )&b,&buflen))
{
lblVersion->Caption = "v" + AnsiString(b);
}
}
delete[] pBuffer;
}

FWIW:
I cannot know Mr Maeder's mind but I think he is referring to the fact that
version information is a platform specific issue and not a language issue.
It might have been more clear had he pointed to the newsgroup
borland.public.cppbuilder.nativeapi
. Ed

Understood. =) I seldom pay attention
to which group I'm reading as I flip though the
different ones. Though I do try to pick the most
appropriate one when I post.

defer the definition of a variable to where you know how to initialize
it, its scope will be narrower.

object and the code will be simpler and less error-prone.
Third, why define a void * if it's going to hold the address of a
char? This causes ...
