    <p><strong>Summary:</strong> Having the version details defined in the separately maintained <code>version.inc</code> via preprocessor macros... How to include the macro values into the resource version definition block?</p> <p>My <code>version.inc</code> file is stored in UTF-8 (i.e. pure ASCII in the case). Its full content is the following (the <code>APS_</code> prefix here is related to the real name of the application, not to the <code>.aps</code> file generated by the resource compiler):</p> <pre><code>#define APS_MAJORNUMBER 4 #define APS_MINORNUMBER 5 #define APS_BUILDNUMBER 0 #define APS_MODIFICATIONNUMBER 0 #define APS_BUILDEXT "wx" #define APS_DATEYEAR 2012 #define APS_DATEMONTH 10 #define APS_DATEDAY 4 </code></pre> <p>The Visual Studio 2012 C++ seems to be more picky about the resource script file (<code>app.rc</code>) than the Visual Studio 2010 was. The first thing I have noticed is that when editing it manually, I have to keep the UTF-16 encoding. Can you confirm that? Is there any documentation on that?</p> <p>Say the version block in the <code>app.rc</code> looks like this:</p> <pre><code>///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // // Version // VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO FILEVERSION 1,0,0,1 PRODUCTVERSION 1,0,0,1 FILEFLAGSMASK 0x3fL #ifdef _DEBUG FILEFLAGS 0x1L #else FILEFLAGS 0x0L #endif FILEOS 0x40004L FILETYPE 0x1L FILESUBTYPE 0x0L BEGIN BLOCK "StringFileInfo" BEGIN BLOCK "040504b0" BEGIN VALUE "CompanyName", "TODO: &lt;Company name&gt;" VALUE "FileDescription", "TODO: &lt;File description&gt;" VALUE "FileVersion", "1.0.0.1" VALUE "InternalName", "app.exe" VALUE "LegalCopyright", "Copyright (C) 2012" VALUE "OriginalFilename", "app.exe" VALUE "ProductName", "TODO: &lt;Product name&gt;" VALUE "ProductVersion", "1.0.0.1" END END BLOCK "VarFileInfo" BEGIN VALUE "Translation", 0x405, 1200 END END </code></pre> <p>In the earlier versions of Visual Studio (2005 and 2010), I was able to have the related <code>version.rc2</code> like this:</p> <pre><code>///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // // Version // #include "version.inc" #define STR(value) #value #define STRINGIZE(value) STR(value) #define APS_FULLVERSION_STR \ STRINGIZE(APS_MAJORNUMBER) "." \ STRINGIZE(APS_MINORNUMBER) "." \ STRINGIZE(APS_BUILDNUMBER) "." \ STRINGIZE(APS_MODIFICATIONNUMBER) VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO FILEVERSION APS_MAJORNUMBER,APS_MINORNUMBER,APS_BUILDNUMBER,APS_MODIFICATIONNUMBER PRODUCTVERSION APS_MAJORNUMBER,APS_MINORNUMBER,APS_BUILDNUMBER,APS_MODIFICATIONNUMBER FILEFLAGSMASK 0x3fL #ifdef _DEBUG FILEFLAGS 0x29L #else FILEFLAGS 0x28L #endif FILEOS 0x4L FILETYPE 0x1L FILESUBTYPE 0x0L BEGIN BLOCK "StringFileInfo" BEGIN BLOCK "000004b0" BEGIN VALUE "Comments", "A fairly useful tool named APS" VALUE "CompanyName", "The company name" VALUE "FileDescription", "app" VALUE "FileVersion", APS_FULLVERSION_STR VALUE "InternalName", "aps" VALUE "LegalCopyright", "Copyright © 1993-" STRINGIZE(APS_DATEYEAR) VALUE "OriginalFilename", "app.exe" VALUE "PrivateBuild", "" VALUE "ProductName", "APS of the version 4" VALUE "ProductVersion", APS_FULLVERSION_STR VALUE "SpecialBuild", APS_BUILDEXT END END BLOCK "VarFileInfo" BEGIN VALUE "Translation", 0x0, 1200 END END </code></pre> <p>Then the <code>version.rc2</code> was included into the <code>app.rc</code> via editing the <code>app.rc</code> manually. However, I cannot repeat the process with the Visual Studio 2012 project and resource file. I may be doing some mistake invisible to me. Should that approach work also in Visual Studio 2012?</p> <p>Thanks for you time and experience,</p> <p>Petr</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
