The version information will display in the Windows property, but how does one access this to display it in a Power Builder window? Using the GetContextService for the ContextInformation returns version information for Power Builder itself and not the application.

Hi, David -

Another alternative is to examine the OSVersion free code example application on Roland Smith's TopWizProgramming web site. It shows you how to extract this information from an exe or dll:

Here's an example of the information it extracted from Excel on my PC:

Best regards, John

Very interested in this thread Chris. Would you be able to point me in the right direction in your framework where I would find the calls to return this string information?

 

Thank you.

Hi David;

This information is gleaned off the EXE in the framework via ...

Object: nc_app_controller_master

Method: of_check_exe_version

Library: STD_FC_Base.pbl

Hi John;

  You are most welcome to extract the code from my framework. The framework also handles PowerServer Web App signature and PS Mobile App signature. 64bit P-Code, 32 bit P-Code & 32bit M-Code native PB Apps are supported. Following is a 32bit Machine-Code example:

Regards ... Chris
