<![CDATA[
This routine shows how to retrieve version information from the Windows resources
and displays it with a ShowMessage box:
procedure TForm1.GetVersionInfo;
const
n_Info = 10;
InfoStr : array [1..n_Info] of String =
('CompanyName', 'FileDescription', 'FileVersion', 'InternalName',
'LegalCopyright', 'LegalTradeMarks', 'OriginalFilename',
'ProductName', 'ProductVersion', 'Comments');
var
Info : String;
BuffSize,
Len, i : Integer;
Buff : PChar;
Value : PChar;
begin
Info := Application.ExeName;
BuffSize := GetFileVersionInfoSize(PChar(Info),BuffSize);
if BuffSize > 0 then
begin
Buff := AllocMem(BuffSize);
Memo1.Lines.Add('FileVersionInfoSize='+IntToStr(BuffSize));
GetFileVersionInfo(PChar(Info),0,BuffSize,Buff);
Info := Info + ':';
for i := 1 to n_Info do
if VerQueryValue(Buff,PChar('StringFileInfo\040904E4\'+
InfoStr[i]), Pointer(Value), Len) then
Info := Info + #13 + InfoStr[i] + '=' + Value;
FreeMem(Buff,BuffSize);
ShowMessage (Info);
end
else
ShowMessage ('No FileVersionInfo found');
end;
