Question: You need Compile-Date and or Time in your Applications Aboutbox
Answer:
Do this without create a include-file in the autoexec.bat.
Make a Label with Name CompileDate in your Aboutbox
// 1. Get Info with Date and Time
var
lSearchRec: TSearchRec;
begin
// look for your Application Exe-File
if FindFirst(Application.EXEName, faAnyFile, lSearchRec) = 0 then begin
// extract DateTime from File-Date
CompileDate.Caption := DateTimeToStr(FileDateToDateTime(lSearchRec.Time));
FindClose(lSearchRec);
end;
end;
// 2. Get Info with Date only
var
lSearchRec: TSearchRec;
begin
// look for your Application Exe-File
if FindFirst(Application.EXEName, faAnyFile, lSearchRec) = 0 then begin
// extract Date only from File-Date
CompileDate.Caption := DateToStr(FileDateToDateTime(lSearchRec.Time));
FindClose(lSearchRec);
end;
end;
