Not wanting to have to maintain version and copyright info in (at least) two places, I would like my "About" box to be able to fetch version and copyright info from the .exe file versioninfo block. You can set this info in the application "Version" tab, and view it from file explorer, right-click on .exe, select properties, then the "Details" tab.
The Windows API for reading this in an application includes GetFileVersionInfoSize, GetFileVersionInfo, and VerQueryValue. I would rather not re-invent the wheel, if it's been done. But searching the Q&A forum I have not found any reference to it. Nor in the CodeXchange. Is there somewhere else I could be looking?
