Released Compilation Revision

[ArturoMedinaLopez]

I Need to control every compilation releasement to manage the updates and use the Version information. How can I extract the Automatic Version number into a Report or a variable.

Hello Arturo,

You can do something like that:

//Recupération des informations du fichier

char *GetInfo(char *InfoItem)

{

    static     char    szResult[256] = {0};

    char    szFullPath[256];

    char    szGetName[256];

    LPSTR   lpVersion;        // String pointer to Item text

    DWORD   dwVerInfoSize;    // Size of version information block

    DWORD   dwVerHnd=0;        // An 'ignored' parameter, always '0'

    UINT    uVersionLen;

    BOOL    bRetCode;

    GetModuleFileName (NULL, szFullPath, sizeof(szFullPath));

    dwVerInfoSize = GetFileVersionInfoSize(szFullPath, &dwVerHnd);

    if (dwVerInfoSize) {

        LPSTR   lpstrVffInfo;

        HANDLE  hMem;

        hMem = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE, dwVerInfoSize);

        lpstrVffInfo  =  (LPSTR)GlobalLock(hMem);

        GetFileVersionInfo(szFullPath, dwVerHnd, dwVerInfoSize, lpstrVffInfo);

        // Get a codepage from base_file_info_sctructure

        lstrcpy(szGetName, "\\VarFileInfo\\Translation");

        uVersionLen   = 0;

        lpVersion     = NULL;

        bRetCode = VerQueryValue((LPVOID)lpstrVffInfo,

               (LPSTR)szGetName,

               (void **)&lpVersion,

               (UINT *)&uVersionLen);

        if ( bRetCode && uVersionLen && lpVersion) {

            sprintf(szResult, "%04x%04x", (WORD)(*((DWORD *)lpVersion)),

                (WORD)(*((DWORD *)lpVersion)>>16));

//            lstrcpy(szResult, lpVersion);

        }

        else {

            // 041904b0 is a very common one, because it means:

            //   US English/Russia, Windows MultiLingual characterset

            // Or to pull it all apart:

            // 04------        = SUBLANG_ENGLISH_USA

            // --09----        = LANG_ENGLISH

            // --19----        = LANG_RUSSIA

            // ----04b0 = 1200 = Codepage for Windows:Multilingual

            lstrcpy(szResult, "041904b0");

        }

        // Add a codepage to base_file_info_sctructure

        sprintf (szGetName, "\\StringFileInfo\\%s\\", szResult);

        // Get a specific item

        lstrcat (szGetName, InfoItem);

        uVersionLen   = 0;

        lpVersion     = NULL;

        bRetCode = VerQueryValue((LPVOID)lpstrVffInfo,

               (LPSTR)szGetName,

               (void **)&lpVersion,

               (UINT *)&uVersionLen);

        if ( bRetCode && uVersionLen && lpVersion) {

            lstrcpy(szResult, lpVersion);

        }

        else {

            lstrcpy(szResult, "");

        }

    }

    return szResult;

}

and then use it as here under:

//Recupération de la version de l'exe

sprintf(titre,"%s", GetInfo("ProductName"));

SetSystemAttribute (ATTR_TASKBAR_BUTTON_TEXT, GetInfo("ProductName"));

sprintf(titre,"%s %s", titre, GetInfo("ProductVersion"));

sprintf(titre,"%s %s", titre, GetInfo("Comments"));

SetPanelAttribute (g_iMainPanel, ATTR_TITLE, titre);

the problem is that you gave the path of the element that you want to get info from, but, I want to get the application itself to say hey this is my version. or compilation date. or something like that. to make it automatically then this value is set into a result file and the this result file is compared with a @golden@ or known result value and we can check if the application was compiled from another person or modified without changing the limit file or compared file.

[Paul_Knight_Lockheed_Mart]

There are some predefine Macros that you can use.  Once you have them in a buffer you can write them to a file or compare them to you golden data.

sprintf(caMessage, "%d", _CVI_);
SetCtrlVal(ghAboutPanel, ABOUT_CVI_VERSION, caMessage);

sprintf(caMessage, "%s", COMPILE_DATE);
SetCtrlVal(ghAboutPanel, ABOUT_COMPILEDATE, caMessage);
 
sprintf(caMessage, "%s", _TARGET_FILE_VERSION_);
SetCtrlVal(ghAboutPanel, ABOUT_FILEVERSION, caMessage);

There is also the GetCVIVersion();  function.
