(SST) ShlWAPIFunctionInfo Version 1.0 |
|---|---|
| Developer Reference |
| Retrieves the signature bytes at the beginning of a VS_FIXEDFILEINFO record/structure from the resources of an executable. |
| Scope |
|---|
| Protected (i.e. the method can only be accessed from code in a descendant class or the unit it which it is implemented). |
| Syntax | |
|---|---|
| Function RetResourceSignature() : DWORD; | |
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| None | |
| Return Values |
|---|
| Returns an unsigned integer value. This value should always be $FEEF04BD (0xFEEF04BD) (= 4,277,077,181). |
| Remarks |
|---|
| When searching disk files for this byte sequence it is necessary to distinguish between little- and big-endian byte orders. On Intel and compatible (e.g. AMD) systems this means, when searching a file for the signature using a hex. editor, you should search for 0xBD04EFFE rather than the value specified above. |
| This signature appaears to be used by various Windows API functions (for example, the "Setup API" functions) to locate the VS_FIXEDFILEINFO record/structure within the file. |
| The returned value is not available in form of a separate property. |
| The function merely returns the "dwSignature" member/field of the ResourceFixedFileInfo property. |
| Requirements | |
|---|---|
| Unit | (Declared and implemented in) SSTNewUnit.pas |
| Library | SSTNewUnit.dcu/SSTNewUnit.obj |
| Unicode | Implemented as ANSI version only. |
