Icetips Utilities Documentation 5/9/2015     Windows Class: GetWindowVersion

Previous  Top  Next

This method uses the GetVersionEx api function to retrieve the windows version information.  It returns the Major and Minor version numbers in a x.x format.  The method also fills in the MajorVersion, MinorVersion, VersionBuildNr, VersionPlatformID and VersionInformation properties of the ITWindowClass.  After a call to this method you can use these properties to get extensive version information about the operating system that your code is running on. 

For more information about the windows versions, please see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724451(VS.85).aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724833(VS.85).aspx
