Hi all,

Is there a way to determine the "bitness" of an application at runtime?  I'd like to update my About window to include (Version, 64-bit) or (Version, 32-bit).  Right now it just displays (Version).  Using PB2021 and PFC12.5.

Thanks Chris!

The n_cst_appmanager object has an instance variable named ienv_object.  So I put the following code in the same place I'm populating  the About fields (constructor event my my inherited object inherited from n_cst_appmanager).

if (ienv_object.processbitness = 32) then
	this.of_SetVersion( "Version 11 (32 bit)" )
elseif (ienv_object.processbitness = 64) then
	this.of_SetVersion( "Version 11 (64 bit)" )
else
	this.of_SetVersion( "Version 11")
end if

Hi Tracy;

 Absolutely... Have a look at the GetEnvironment() & the Environment object class (which has a bitness property that you can introspect).

HTH
