The VS_VERSION_INFO 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).
VS_VERSION_INFO {
WORD wLength;
WORD wValueLength;
WORD wType;
WCHAR szKey[];
WORD Padding1[];
VS_FIXEDFILEINFO Value;
WORD Padding2[];
WORD Children[];
};
Members
wLength
Specifies the length of the VS_VERSION_INFO structure. This length does not include any padding that aligns the subsequent version structure on a 32-bit boundary.
wValueLength
Specifies the length of the Value member. 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
Contains the Unicode string "VS_VERSION_INFO".
Padding1
Contains as many zero words as necessary to align the Value member on a 32-bit boundary.
Value
Contains a VS_FIXEDFILEINFO structure that specifies arbitrary data associated with this structure. The wValueLength member specifies the length of this member; if wValueLength is zero, this member does not exist.
Padding2
Contains as many zero words as necessary to align the Children member on a 32-bit boundary. These bytes are not included in wValueLength. This member is optional.
Children
Specifies a list of zero or more StringFileInfo or VarFileInfo structures (or both) that are children of the current version structure.
Remarks
The VS_VERSION_INFO structure is the root structure that contains all other file information structures.
