Setting Version Info values from within the source code

[razvan.ioachim]

Hello. I want to set the version info variables from my software's source code. I know I can read them by using _TARGET_FILE_VERSION_ or _TARGET_PRODUCT_VERSION_ macros, but how do I actually write them?

Isn't there any way to alter Target Settings' Numeric Information/Text Information to take a value from a defined variable at compile time? Thank you.

Hi,

You may want to try out some of the options listed in this older post:

Specifically, CVI_AppSetProjectVersionInfo function in order to set these values.

You also might want to refer to the Windows information for Version Resources, which can be found at:

If you are looking to change version after compile, there are online examples for creating a tool to do this. However, it may cause issues depending on the method and how the file versioning is implemented.
