it'll be a hex number, not a string like you're expecting. you'll have to concatenate the major, minor etc numbers together in a string with dots in-between the numbers - i guess this is what you're after. unless anyone else knows a better way of doing this? i had a look in Incs\Core\System\SystemMgr.h for the macros for getting the values hope this helps you on your way - dave // MACRO: sysMakeROMVersion // // Builds a ROM version value from the major, minor, fix, stage, and build numbers // #define sysMakeROMVersion(major, minor, fix, stage, buildNum) \ ( \ (((UInt32)((UInt8)(major) & 0x0FF)) << 24) | \ (((UInt32)((UInt8)(minor) & 0x00F)) << 20) | \ (((UInt32)((UInt8)(fix) & 0x00F)) << 16) | \ (((UInt32)((UInt8)(stage) & 0x00F)) << 12) | \ (((UInt32)((UInt16)(buildNum) & 0x0FFF))) \ )
// Macros for parsing the ROM version number // (the system OS version is obtained by calling // FtrGet(sysFtrCreator, sysFtrNumROMVersion, dwOSVerP), where dwOSVerP is // a pointer to to a UInt32 variable that is to receive the OS version number) #define sysGetROMVerMajor(dwROMVer) (((UInt16)((dwROMVer) >> 24)) & 0x00FF) #define sysGetROMVerMinor(dwROMVer) (((UInt16)((dwROMVer) >> 20)) & 0x000F) #define sysGetROMVerFix(dwROMVer) (((UInt16)((dwROMVer) >> 16)) & 0x000F) #define sysGetROMVerStage(dwROMVer) (((UInt16)((dwROMVer) >> 12)) & 0x000F) #define sysGetROMVerBuild(dwROMVer) (((UInt16)(dwROMVer)) & 0x0FFF) ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Karthik Jaganathan Sent: 11 April 2008 12:02 To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: RE: how to find OS name, version, devicename? i did both the technique that u said,that is convert the romVersion into Char *, and StrIToH method, but still it doesnt produce proper result, actually what the result should come?

Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2008 09:41:04 +0100 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: palm-dev-forum@news.palmos.com romVersion is a UInt32, you'll need to convert it to a string Char*, and pass that to WinDrawChars. You can use StrIToH. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Karthik Jaganathan Sent: 11 April 2008 07:38 To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: RE: how to find OS name, version, devicename? hi riyon, i also used the windraw method to print romVersion value but it shows some correpted value, how to display it? i used like this WinDrawChars((Char *) &romVersion,4, 20, 30); ________________________________ Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 23:14:05 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: palm-dev-forum@news.palmos.com Subject: Re: how to find OS name, version, devicename?

You can, however, compare the OS version with a required one, using the macro sysMakeRomVersion if (romVersion >= sysMakeROMVersion(5,0,0,sysROMStageRelease,0)) //OS 5 or above Le i am having one more doubt, can i show the company name(like palm inc), device name(like treo 680) instead of deviceid(D053), companyid(hspr). If you keep a table in your code to cross-reference it to.
