Par2: Get version number from Version Resource Template
2005-08-15 -- Brent Stock
 
If you are referring to information from the cwVersionRes template, I have written a little extension to get date/version/build version information and to make it available at runtime. This allows you to use the global variables where ever you want in your code - splash, about, window title etc. Note: I put the a version date called "Date of Build" into the verUserValue1 field from the cwVersionRes template to help keep track of that as well. Here is my template - use it if you find it valuable, ignore it if not. Note this is written for a specific application called PRISM so you may want to change the variable names to suit yourself. I use it "as is" in other apps (the name does not matter to the app) and just keep the PRISM name, either way, it WORKS! #!----------------------------------------------------------------------- #EXTENSION(PRISMInformation,'PRISM Information'),PROCEDURE #!----------------------------------------------------------------------- #DISPLAY('Brent H.
