Linking the build version in an About dialog

Solved!
Go to solution

I have an application whereby I use the build version number auto increment functionality.  And thats cool, it makes sure I keep my build numbers changing everytime!

 

But I also have an About dialog page where I have the version number also, so the client doesn't need to go to the exe, right click, version etc.

 

Currently, before any build, I go and update a text box with the version number for the next build...but its a real pain and sometimes I forget (luckily its always something I check before release though).  

 

Is there anyway I can link a textbox value to the version number automatically, so that I dont need to do anything manually?

Look at this thread:

 

http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/File-version-info/m-p/361945#M183560

 

There are 2 methods - .NET and non .NET.  I have been using the non .NET version for my applications.

Hello,

 

2 different ways are discribed here. Note that the second option will need slight modification if you are using other than LV 2009.

 

Hope this helps.

Next time please use the search engine before you post, then start a new thread if nothing comes up 😉

Thanks everyone. I'm sorted.  Biig help. 

 

@TiTou - Uhm, thanks for that, I did actually use the search function first, but those words are kinda popular with non related issues you know (version, build, exe, etc), so nothing actually came up of relevance.  I dont spam on purpose you know 😉
