VS_VERSIONINFO

  • Article

This structure depicts the organization of data in a file-version resource. It is the root structure that contains all other file-version information structures.

This structure is not a true C-language structure because it contains variable-length members. This structure was created solely to depict the organization of data in a version resource and does not appear in any of the header files shipped with a Software Development Kit (SDK) for a Windows CE operating system.

struct VS_VERSIONINFO { 
WORD wLength; 
WORD wValueLength; 
WORD wType; 
WCHAR szKey[]; 
WORD Padding1[]; 
VS_FIXEDFILEINFO Value; 
WORD Padding2[]; 
WORD Children[]; };

Members

  • wLength
    Specifies the length, in bytes, of the VS_VERSIONINFO structure. This length does not include any padding that aligns any subsequent version resource data on a 32-bit boundary.
  • wValueLength
    Specifies the length, in bytes, of the Value member. This value is zero if there is no Value member associated with the current version structure.
  • wType
    Specifies the type of data in the version resource. This member is 1 if the version resource contains text data and 0 if the version resource contains binary data.
  • szKey
    Contains the Unicode string "VS_VERSION_INFO".
  • Padding1
    Contains as many zero words as necessary to align the Value member on a 32-bit boundary.
  • Value
    Contains a VS_FIXEDFILEINFO structure that specifies arbitrary data associated with this VS_VERSIONINFO structure. The wValueLength member specifies the length of this member; if wValueLength is zero, this member does not exist.
  • Padding2
    Contains as many zero words as necessary to align the Children member on a 32-bit boundary. These bytes are not included in wValueLength. This member is optional.
  • Children
    Specifies an array of zero or one StringFileInfo structures, and zero or one VarFileInfo structures that are children of the current VS_VERSIONINFO structure.
