Define a version number for a chm file

[rdinatale]

I need to fix a version number in a chm file to determine wich version a customer uses. At this moment I distinguish them by chm's content, but I'm not happy for this choice.
Is this possible?

Thanks.
Raffaele.

I build all version / copyright information into the footer I added to the topic template. Then, I just have to change the template footer whenever the version is updated. Footer displays on screen and is printed if they print the topic.

Yes, I thought about this solution, but I wonder if there is the possibility to do sometihing like a version number on a dll.
If there is not I'll will adopt your solution.
Many thanks.

Hi rdinatale

Another thing you can do is to simply edit the Window properties to include the version number. Of course, this too would need to be done each time you update the version. But once it was done, it would show up in the title bar of the .CHM.

Just a thought... Rick

What I do is to use one of the custom buttons as an about box. It opens a topic containing version number and company contact information in a secondary window. Of course, like the other ideas here, I have to edit that topic before I compile.
