How do I retrieve my app's version number? by foxdev
Posted: 28 Sep 00

Visual FoxPro 6 contains the function aGetFileVersion which can retrieve version and other information from VFP and non-VFP Windows EXEs and DLLs.
For Visual FoxPro version 5, you can obtain this information on the currently-running VFP-created EXE by using the GetFileVersion() function in FOXTOOLS.FLL. The code follows:
* -- uses GetFileVersion function in FoxTools.FLL (VFP version 5)
* -- returns info on currently-running VFP EXE
* -- supplied when the EXE was built
* -- (version, company info, description, etc.)
* -- optional parameter - pass .T. to get full info, .F. or nothing to get just version
lparameter tlreturnfulldescription
local afileinfo && array to hold file information
local lgoodinfo && good getfileversion() flag
local cretval && return value
dimension afileinfo[12,1]
if not "foxtools" $ lower(set("library"))
set library to foxtools.fll additive
endif
lgoodinfo = getfileversion(sys(16,1), @afileinfo) >= 0
if lgoodinfo && GetFileVersion performed OK
if tlreturnfulldescription && give full info
cretval = afileinfo(10,1) + " " + ;
afileinfo(4,1) + " " + ;
afileinfo(3,1) + " " + ;
afileinfo(1,1) + " " + ;
chr(169) + afileinfo(6,1)
else
cretval = afileinfo(4,1) && version only
endif
else
cretval = ""
endif
return cretval
