With the Version Information editor, you can add or delete string blocks, search for string blocks, and modify individual string values in a version resource.

A version information resource has a single fixed information block at the top and one or more string information blocks at the bottom. The top block has both editable numeric boxes and selectable drop-down lists. The bottom string block has editable text boxes.

You can sort the information sequence of the string block by clicking either the Key or the Value buttons. These buttons automatically rearrange the information into the selected sequence.

To edit a version information resource

Double-click the item you want to edit, and make the changes.

To add a new string block

Open a version information resource.
From the Insert menu, choose New Version Info Block.
This command appends an additional string information block into the current version information resource and opens the Block Header properties page.
On the Block Header properties page, choose the appropriate language and character set for the new block.

To delete a string block

With a version information resource open, select one of the block headers.
From the Insert menu, choose Delete Version Info Block.
This command deletes the selected header and leaves the remaining version information intact.

To find a string block

From the Edit menu, choose Find.
In the Find what box, select a previous search string from the drop-down list, type the string you want to find, or type a regular expression to match a pattern.

Tip Click the button to the right of the Find what box to display a list of regular search expressions. When you select an expression from this list, it is substituted as the search text in the Find what box. If you use regular expressions, be sure the Regular expression check box is selected.

Select any of the Find options.
Click Find Next.
