Version number

BarryStevens

Is there a way of programatically getting the version number.

KevinFournier

The only way would be using GetFileVersionInfo from the WinAPI.

Any hints on how to actually do this! (It talks about buffer pointer to call another WinApi)

KevinFournier

Well, it won't be easy in OI. You need to use GetFileVersionInfoSizeA to get the number of bytes needed for the information. Use that value to preallocate a buffer:

Buffer = Str(\00\, InfoSize)

Then call GetFileVersionInfoA . Your buffer now contains the info, but it may or may not be easily readable or parse-able by OI. Thus, you can pass that buffer to VerQueryValueA to extract specific values out of the it.
