Function name: GetFileVersionInfo

Defined in : Version

Requirements : Windows NT 3.1 or later; Windows 95 or later

Declaration:

Declare Function GetFileVersionInfo Lib "version.dll" Alias "GetFileVersionInfoA" (ByVal lptstrFilename As String, ByVal dwHandle As Long, ByVal dwLen As Long, lpData As Any) As Long

Parameters:

* lptstrFilename Pointer to a null-terminated filename string that specifies the file of interest. * dwHandle This parameter is ignored. * dwLen Specifies the size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by lpData. Call the GetFileVersionInfoSize function to determine the size in bytes of a file’s version information. dwLen should be equal to or greater than that value. If the buffer pointed to by lpData is not large enough, the function truncates the file’s-version information to the size of the buffer. * lpData Pointer to a buffer to receive file-version information. You can use this value in a subsequent call to the VerQueryValue function. The file version information is always in Unicode format.

Returns:

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero. If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
