<H2><A NAME="Description"></A>Description</H2>
 
<P>This is a 32 bit non-visual component for Delphi 2 to 6 that encapsulates file
version resource information contained in a file.</P>
 
<P>The component reads information from the file's VERSIONINFO resource. If the
file has no such resource then this component returns no information. The HaveInfo
property informs whether the component has been able to get version information
from the file. The 32 bit version of TPJVersionInfo can access variable file
information for each language provided in the resource.</P>
 
<P>The file from which resource information is gleaned is determined by the FileName
property. Setting the file name property to the empty string makes the component
read information from the executable file in which it embedded. Apart from the
usual Name and Tag properties the FileName property is the only design-time
property of the component. With the exception of the property that selects the
language for which variable file information is to be returned, all other properties
are read only. These properties present the information from the VERSIONINFO
resource to the user. See the help file for further information.</P>
<P>The component introduces no new methods and it has no events.</P>
 
<H3>Limitations</H3>
 
<P>This version of the component makes calls to the 32 bit Windows API. It is
not suitable for compilation using the 16 bit Delphi 1 compiler.</P>
 
<H3>Further information</H3>
 
<P>For detailed information about file version information refer to the Win32
SDK.</P>
 
<P>
<HR noshade>
<p></P>
 
<H2><A NAME="Compatibility"></A>Compatibility</H2>
 
<P>This version of the component works only with 32 bit versions of Delphi. It
has been tested with Delphi versions 2, 3, 4 and 6. It is assumed to work correctly
with Delphi 5. A separate version of the component is available for 16 bit Delphi
1.</P>
 
<P>The unit name has changed to <code>PJVersionInfo</code> in this release of
the code - this means that programs using earlier versions will need to be modified
(or to have an alias set in Delphi's Project Options) before being recompiled
using the new version.</P>
<P>This component is backward compatible with previous 32 bit releases. In previous
releases the help file was designed for integration with the Delphi 2 IDE but
was not compatible with the OpenHelp system used from Delphi 3 onwards. From
this release the help file has been updated to integrate with the Delphi 3 and
later IDE. It is no longer compatible with the Delphi 2 IDE, although can be
used separately.</P>

<H2><A NAME="Installation"></A>Installation</H2>
 
<P>In these instructions <CODE><STRONG>$(DELPHI)</STRONG></CODE> is to be taken to represent the path where your 32 bit version of Delphi was installed. For example, if you have Delphi 4 installed on the path <CODE>C:\Program&nbsp;Files\Borland\Delphi4</CODE> then <CODE>$(DELPHI)</CODE> represents that path.</P>
 
<H3>Installation with Delphi 2</H3>
 
<p>Note that although the provided help file gives information about using the
component it cannot be linked into the Delphi 2 environment.</p>
<OL>
<LI>Unzip the component's <code>.zip</code> file into a folder, preserving the
directory structure.
<li>Copy the files <CODE>PJVersionInfo.pas</CODE> and <CODE>PJVersionInfo.dcr</CODE>
to the folder from where you wish to install the component into the Delphi
Component Palette. This will probably be an existing folder where you keep
the library components - say the default <CODE>$(DELPHI)\lib</CODE> folder.
</li>
<li>Start Delphi. Select the <EM>Options | Install Components</EM> menu option.
Click the <EM>Add</EM> button, then the <EM>Browse</EM> button and navigate
to the <CODE>PJVersionInfo.pas</CODE> file in the folder where you placed
it. Click <EM>OK</EM> to recompile the components library. </li>
<LI>You can now delete <code>PJVersionInfo.pas</code> from the place where you
copied it if you wish. The component will appear on a palette called <EM>PJ
Stuff</EM>. You can move the component to a different palette as required,
or hack the source code (before installing the component) by finding the <CODE>Register</CODE>
procedure at the end of the code and changing the string <CODE>'PJ stuff'</CODE>
to the name of the required palette.
</OL>
 
<H3>Installation with Delphi 3 and later</H3>
 
<OL>
<LI>Unzip the component's <code>.zip</code> file into a folder, preserving the
directory structure.
<li>Copy the files <CODE>PJVersionInfo.pas</CODE> and <CODE>PJVersionInfo.dcr</CODE>
to the folder from where you wish to install the component into the Delphi
Component Palette. This will probably be a sub-folder of the <CODE>$(DELPHI)\lib</CODE>
folder. </li>
<LI>Install the component into the palette by choosing the <EM>Component | Install
Component</EM> menu option. The following instructions assume you are installing
into the default "users components" package:
<UL>
<LI>Select the "Into existing package" page of the <EM>Install Components</EM>
dialogue box.
<LI>Browse to the folder where you saved <CODE>PJVersionInfo.pas</CODE>
and select the file.
<LI>Ensure that the "Package file name" edit box contains <CODE>$(DELPHI)\lib\dclusrX0.dpk</CODE>
(where X is the version number of Delphi).
<LI>Accept that the package will be rebuilt.
<LI>A dialogue box should be displayed saying that <em>TPJVersionInfo</em>
has been added to the component palette.
</UL>
<LI>You can now delete <CODE>PJVersionInfo.pas</CODE> from the place where you
copied it if you wish. The component will appear on a palette called <EM>PJ
Stuff</EM>. You can move the component to a different palette as required,
or hack the source code (before installing the program) by finding the <CODE>Register</CODE>
procedure at the end of the code and changing the string <CODE>'PJ stuff'</CODE>
to the name of the required palette.
<li>The simplest way to install the help file is to use the <em>PJSoft Component
Help Installer Expert,</em> available from my website. To install manually,
proceed as follows (replace X is your version of Delphi): </li>
<ul>
<li>Copy <code>PJVersionInfo.hlp</code> to whichever folder you wish to install
it to. </li>
<li>Create a text file named <code>PJVersionInfo.cfg</code> in your Delphi
Help folder. Enter the following two lines:<code><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;:Index PJSoft Version Info Component=PJVersionInfo.hlp<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;:Link PJVersionInfo.hlp</code><br>
</li>
<li>Edit the <code>DelphiX.cnt</code> file (where is is your Delphi version)
and add the line:<br>
<code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;:Include PJVersionInfo.cfg </code></li>
<li>Using RegEdit open the key <code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Help</code>
and add a new string value named <code>PJVersionInfo.hlp</code> whose value
is the path where you copied the help file (probably <code>($DELPHI)\Help</code>).

to descriptive strings.
<li>All string info, language and character set properties now return values

<li>Empty FileName property now accesses name of host application per command
line rather than using Application.ExeName.
<li>CharSet property now returns '' for unknown value rather than 'Unknown'.
<li>Renamed TVersionNumber record to TPJVersionNumber.

TVSFixedFileInfo
