How to get file version of an MFC application?
-
Hai! In any MFC dialog based application if we go to Resource view->and click on Version we get a version info of our application in the version info there are two bocks : 1. FILEVERSION 1,0,0,1 and PRODUCTVERSION 1,0,0,1 etc then a black line as separator then 2. Block header, Comments , company name and then File vesion product version etc. Now i need to get the file version of my application programatically, i am currently using GetFileVersionInfo (), this function gets the file version fron 2nd or lower block, i need the file version from 1st block FILEVERSION, is there any direct function?? Thanks!

Sorry for not providing a detailed information! I actually want to get the version information programmatically for a Pocket PC WIN CE device, I am developing the application in eVC++ I have used GetFileVersionSize (), GetFileVersionInfo (), VerQueryValue() in Visual studio 2005, which was working but not in eVC++ Can i get version information for a PocketPC Application, because if i implement the above functions i get 1814 as error using GetLastError() after executing GetFileVersionInfo() stating "The specified resource name cannot be found in the image file." what does this mean ?? Thanks!
