Parameters

ArrayName (Optional)
Type: Usual
Specifies the name of the array in which the file information is placed. If the array you specify doesn't exist, X# automatically creates the array. If the array exists and isn't large enough to contain the file information, X# automatically increases the size of the array. If the array is larger than necessary, X# truncates the array.
cFileName (Optional)
Type: Usual
Specifies the name, and optionally the path, of the target file.

Return Value

Type: Usual
Numeric. AGetfileversion( ) returns the number of elements in the array. If the file you specify does not exist or does not contain Windows version resources, AGetfileversion( ) returns zero, and the array, if already created, remains unchanged.
Remarks
The table below lists the contents of each element of the array. For example, you can use the following code to determine the Locale ID for the X# executable file:
X#
1DIMENSION aFiles[1]
2AGetfileversion(aFiles,"VFP9.EXE")
3? EVAL("0x"+LEFT(aFiles[15],4))
