Version Information Editor (Windows CE 5.0)
Version information consists of company and product identification, a product release number, and copyright and trademark notification.
The version information editor is a tool for creating and maintaining this data. Although the version information resource is not required by an application, it is a useful place to collect this information that identifies the application.
A single version information resource can contain multiple string blocks, each representing a different language or character set. All you need to do is define the character sets and languages specific to your product.
You can use the version information editor for the following tasks:
- Adding or deleting string blocks.
- Searching for values.
- Modifying individual string values.
By default, Windows has only one version resource, VS_VERSION_INFO. If you want to access the version information from within your application, use the GetFileVersionInfo and VerQueryValue functions.
While using the version information editor, you can click the right mouse button to display a shortcut menu of resource-specific commands. For example, if you click while pointing to a block header entry, the shortcut menu displays the New Version Info Block and Delete Version Info Block commands.
A version information resource has a single fixed-information block at the top and one or more string information blocks at the bottom. The top block has numeric boxes that you can edit and drop-down lists that you can select. The bottom string block has text boxes that you can edit.
You can sort the information sequence of the string block by choosing either the Key button or the Value button. These buttons automatically arrange the information into the selected sequence.
