File version ppc2002

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I cannot find the api for getting the file version in ppc. Is there a
RAPI call for GetFileVersion?. The work around I'm thinking of using
is to copy the file to the desktop then use vb's FSO.GetFileVersion
method. If I open a file as binary on the ppc isnt there a location to
the offset--then x bytes in contains the version info?

Last I checked (at least severa months ago, which is a _long_ time for
CE), the FileVersion functions were not supported under CE. Kenny
Goers wrote a set of classes that include support for version info:

and exes on the ppc?

You need to use GetFileVersionInfoSize, GetFileVersionInfo and VerQueryValue
APIs, in that order.
Look them up in the eVC 3.0 books online.

I doubt RAPI includes such functions. But RAPI can work with functions
in a DLL running on the handheld. So you could build a DLL and invoke
it. I _think_ CeRAPIInvoke is the name of an appropriate function.
I've never used RAPI to do this, so I can't help further.

You are correct. CeRapiInvoke is what he's after, and it can definitely do
this (or just about anything since you have to write both ends of the code).
