What I have successfully done so far is to include the following string in my main
file (the one with PilotMain in it):
const char project_revision[] = "$ProjectRevision: 0.1 $";
This string is automatically updated by the version control software (MKS Source
Integrity) when I checkpoint the project.
Then, when my application's "about" form is displayed, I use the following function to
construct a version string to display:
#define ifdigit( x ) ( ( ( x >= '0' ) && ( x <= '9' ) ) ? 1:0 )
void extract_project_revision( char *str, int n )
{
int i = 0;
char *pr = ( char * ) project_revision;
MemSet( str, n, 0 );
while( *pr++ )
{
if( ( ( *pr == '.' ) || ( ifdigit( *pr ) ) ) && ( i < n ) )
{
str[ i ] = *pr;
i++;
}
}
}
This works fine, but now my application's "about" screen will not agree with the Palm
info screen when you select the version display, which shows the version of all
installed applications, unless I manually change the version string for the project in
the project settings in Constructor. The problem is, adding the project_revision
string to the resource, which is not ASCII like my source code files, is something I
don't know how to do. And even if I did, I then need a way to extract just the numeric
part (0.1) as I did with the above function, and I need to set the extracted value to
be used for the resource's version string. Is this even possible?
