View source for Adding Windows Version Info

By default, the FM 7 API doesn't add the 'Version' information to the compiled plugin on windows.  You can include this by copying from the FM5.5 API the Version Info.


Add the following lines into the 'FMPluginExample.rc'  file on windows.  I put it just before the first 'STRINGTABLE'

Replace the 1,0,1,0 and  1.01  with your current version info.

Replace 'IDMA' with your product name.

I was unable to remove any of the 'VALUE' lines without breaking the version functionality. I suspect it's tied to the BLOCK line, but didn't investigate further.
