AGETFILEVERSION( ) Function

Creates an array containing information about files with Windows version resources such as .exe, .dll, and .fll files, or automation servers created in Visual FoxPro.

AGETFILEVERSION(ArrayName, cFileName)

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.
