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?
