Project: Version Information Component
Unit: PJVersionInfo
Applies to: ~>3.0
This class defines a non-visual component that exposes version resource information contained in an executable file.
The component reads information from the file’s VERSIONINFO resource. If the file has no such resource then the component returns no information. Use the HaveInfo property to find whether the component has been able to get version information from the file.
The file from which resource information is gleaned is determined by the FileName property. This is the only design-time property added by this component. Other properties are available at run time only and are used to manipulate and read the version information.
The component supports multi-lingual version resources which have different sets of string information for each language. Use the NumTranslations and CurrentTranslation properties to select the required translation.
TPJVersionInfo defines no methods.
