I wonder if there might be any possibility to automatise the values for Version and Copyright when building an app. I am aware that those prperties are read-only and can not be set at runtine - for good reasons…
But what I would really like would be an automatism which would set those settings - based on the version settings - prior to building the app. Has anyone got a clue?
Many thanks in advance!
I don’t know about Copyright but App.Version can be set using a build script. (I don’t know where I go this but…thanks.)
[code]// Set ShortVersion to match version numbers
Dim version as String
version = PropertyValue(“App.MajorVersion”) + “.” + _
PropertyValue(“App.MinorVersion”) + “.” + _
PropertyValue(“App.BugVersion”) + " (" + _
PropertyValue(“App.NonReleaseVersion”) + “)”
PropertyValue(“App.ShortVersion”) = version
[/code]
Put it before the Build step and the version shown in the App’s properties should show correctly. At least on Windows; I can’t test on Mac.
Sorry for replying a bit late…
In a first attempt, this seemed not to work … until I found out that I had to replace “app.” by “MyAppsName.”
Thank you for your valuable hint!
