Here's the code I am using in my app. It's called like:
CharPtr verString;
Boolean result;
verString = MemPtrNew(8); // Change size as needed
ErrFatalDisplayIf(!verString,
"Could not allocate memory!");
result = (GetAppVersion(1, verString);
ErrFatalDisplayIf(!result,
"Could not get version resource!");
The GetAppVersion function is defined as follows:
/*
* Get the application version from a tver resource.
* Parameters:
* resourceNum: The resource ID of the tver resource
* dest : A CharPtr to hold the version string
* Returns:
* True on success, false on error.
* Also sets dest to the version string.
*/
static Boolean GetAppVersion(Word resourceNum, CharPtr dest)
{
CharPtr foo;
VoidHand verRsrc;
if (dest == NULL)
return false;
MemSet(dest, StrLen(dest), 0);
verRsrc = (VoidHand)DmGetResource(verRsc, 1);
if (verRsrc == NULL)
return false;
foo = (CharPtr) MemHandleLock(verRsrc);
if (foo == NULL)
return false;
StrNCopy(dest, foo, StrLen(foo));
MemHandleUnlock(verRsrc);
DmReleaseResource(verRsrc);
return true;
}
To answer your other question, verRsc is defined in UICommon.h, which
is included by Pilot.h. It's defined like this:
#define verRsc 'tver'
So, the legal values for that parameter are any resource type. The
predefined types are given in UICommon.h.
Hope this helps.
