Version Info

[alexadmin]

I have developed simple application and build executable.

I want to add any auto-incremented version information to front panel.

It can be VI's revision number or File Version Number of executable. How I can get these data?

I know that FileVersion can be extracted with system calls (via dll, for example) with several screens of c++ code. Is there more easy solutions?

Thanks.

You might be interested in looking at the OpenG builder application OpenG, it has a nice auto-increment revision system build into it and so much more

Within the builder there is a "Build Version Control " option, you name a Revision text file , which OpenG looks after for you and using this file as a seed, it auto-increments

on each build the build number and inserts this value into a LabVIEW Control. Basically you select one of your VI maybe your top level VI or an About.vi launched from your top_level and on that VI you place the control you want OPenG to populate.

The MGI toolkit has a Version Info node which uses API calls... It returns 'Development' when you run as a VI, or the executable version in compiled executables. I add the version to my FP's title bar.
