Return Values
Numeric
Parameters
ArrayName
Specifies the name of the array in which the file information is placed. If the array you specify doesn't exist, Visual FoxPro automatically creates the array. If the array exists and isn't large enough to contain the file information, Visual FoxPro automatically increases the size of the array. If the array is larger than necessary, Visual FoxPro truncates the array.The following table lists the contents of each element of the array.
Element Contents 1 Comments 2 Company Name 3 File Description 4 File Version 5 Internal Name 6 Legal Copyright 7 Legal Trademarks 8 Original File Name 9 Private Build 10 Product Name 11 Product Version The format of this value is dependent on the version of Visual FoxPro. For details, see VERSION( ) Function.
12 Special Build 13 OLE Self Registration (contains "OLESelfRegister" if the file supports self-registration; otherwise contains the empty string) 14 Language (derived from the Translation Code) 15 Translation Code For example, you can use the following code to determine the Locale ID for the Visual FoxPro executable file:
DIMENSION aFiles[1] AGETFILEVERSION(aFiles,"VFP7.EXE") ? EVAL("0x"+LEFT(aFiles[15],4)) ** Returns 1033 for US version
cFileName
Specifies the name, and optionally the path, of the target file.
Remarks
AGETFILEVERSION( ) is typically used to get information about files with Windows version resources such as .exe, .dll, and .fll files, or automation servers created in Visual FoxPro. You must specify a value for at least one item in the EXE Version dialog Box for a Visual FoxPro automation server to have Windows version resources.
AGETFILEVERSION( ) returns the number of elements in the array. If the file you specify does not exist or does not contain Windows version resources, zero is returned and the array (if already created) remains unchanged.
The minimum number of characters to which AGETFILEVERSION( ) can be abbreviated is 5 characters.
