String
The String structure depicts the organization of data in a file-version resource. 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 the Microsoft® Win32® Software Development Kit (SDK).
The String structure contains a string that describes a specific aspect of a file.
String {
WORD wLength;
WORD wValueLength;
WORD wType;
WCHAR szKey[];
WORD Padding[];
String Value[];
} String;
Members
wLength
Specifies the length of the version resource.
wValueLength
Specifies the length of the Value member in the current VS_VERSION_INFO structure. 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
Specifies an arbitrary Unicode string. The szKey member can be one or more of the following values. These values are
guidelines only.
String
| Meaning
| Comments
| The Value member contains any additional information that should be displayed for
diagnostic purposes. This string can be an arbitrary length.
| CompanyName
| The Value member identifies the company that produced the file. For example, "Microsoft
Corporation" or "Standard Microsystems Corporation, Inc."
| FileDescription
| The Value member describes the file in such a way that it can be presented to users.
This string may be presented in a list box when the user is choosing files to
install. For example, "Keyboard driver for AT-style keyboards" or "Microsoft Word
for Windows".
| FileVersion
| The Value member identifies the version of this file. For example, Value could be "3.00A" or "5.00.RC2".
| InternalName
| The Value member identifies the file's internal name, if one exists. For example, this
string would contain the module name for Windows dynamic-link libraries (DLLs),
a virtual device name for Windows virtual devices, or a device name for MS-DOS
device drivers.
| LegalCopyright
| The Value member describes all copyright notices, trademarks, and registered trademarks
that apply to the file. This should include the full text of all notices,
legal symbols, copyright dates, trademark numbers, and so on. In English, this
string should be in the format "Copyright Microsoft Corp. 1990 1994".
| LegalTrademarks
| The Value member describes all trademarks and registered trademarks that apply to the
file. This should include the full text of all notices, legal symbols, trademark
numbers, and so on. In English, this string should be in the format "Windows
is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation".
| OriginalFilename
| The Value member identifies the original name of the file, not including a path. This
enables an application to determine whether a file has been renamed by a user.
This name may not be MS-DOS 8.3-format if the file is specific to a non-FAT file
system.
| PrivateBuild
| The Value member describes by whom, where, and why this private version of the file was
built. This string should only be present if the VS_FF_PRIVATEBUILD flag is
set in the dwFileFlags member of the VS_FIXEDFILEINFO structure. For example, Value could be "Built by OSCAR on \OSCAR2".
| ProductName
| The Value member identifies the name of the product with which this file is
distributed. For example, this string could be "Microsoft Windows".
| ProductVersion
| The Value member identifies the version of the product with which this file is
distributed. For example, Value could be "3.00A" or "5.00.RC2".
| SpecialBuild
| The Value member describes how this version of the file differs from the normal
version. This entry should only be present if the VS_FF_SPECIALBUILD flag is set in
the dwFileFlags member of the VS_FIXEDFILEINFO structure. For example, Value could be "Private build for Olivetti solving mouse problems on M250 and M250E
computers".
|
Padding
Contains as many zero words as necessary to align the Value member on a 32-bit boundary.
Value
Specifies a zero-terminated string. See the szKey member description for more information.
Remarks
A String structure may have an szKey value of, for example, "CompanyName" and a Value of "Microsoft Corporation". Another String structure with the same szKey value could contain a Value of "Microsoft GmbH". This might occur if the second String structure were associated with a StringTable structure whose szKey value is 040704b0  that is, German/Unicode. The code page can be set to 1200 (decimal) or 0x04b0
(hexadecimal) to indicate Unicode. The code page can also be set to the value
that is appropriate for the language component. After you choose the value for
the code page you should continue to use the same value in later revisions to
the file.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
