Reserved

In addition, for Microsoft Office Visio 2007, to obtain the correct full build number, it is necessary to add 1000 to the internal revision number part of the full build number returned by the FullBuild property, as shown in the following macro.

The build number of the running instance is written to the FullBuildNumberCreated property when a new document is created, and to the FullBuildNumberEdited property when a document is edited.

Example

The following Microsoft Visual Basic procedures show how to use the FullBuild property to get the full build number of the current instance of Microsoft Office Visio. Once the full build number has been obtained, the ParseFullBuildProperty procedure parses the number and prints the results in the Immediate window.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Public Sub FullBuild_Example()
 
    Dim lngFullBuild as Long    
    lngFullBuild = Application.FullBuild 
    ParseFullBuildProperty (lngFullBuild)     

End Sub

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Public Sub ParseFullBuildProperty(ByRef lngFullBuild As Long)
 
    Dim lngMajor As Long
    Dim lngMinor As Long
    Dim lngRevision As Long
    Dim lngBuild As Long
    Dim lngNumber As Long
 
    lngNumber = lngFullBuild 

' Low 16 bits: 
lngBuild = lngNumber Mod 65536 
lngNumber = lngNumber / 65536

'Next 5 bits:
lngRevision = lngNumber Mod 32 
lngNumber = lngNumber / 32 

'Next 5 bits: 
lngMinor = lngNumber Mod 32 
lngNumber = lngNumber / 32

'Next 5 bits: 
lngMajor = lngNumber Mod 32 
lngNumber = lngNumber / 32 

'Remaining 1 bit unused and 0 as of Visio 2007 
 Debug.Print "lngFullBuild (full version specification): " & lngMajor & "." _
    & lngMinor & "." & lngBuild & "." & lngRevision + 1000
Debug.Assert(0 = lngNumber) 



End Sub
