SUMMARY

Previous versions of the Component Gallery and Class Browser utilities did not provide a method for determining the current version of the application. The October 1998 Gallery update, Vfp6gal.exe, adds a new property to the Component Gallery/Class Browser object model that stores the version information. The property name is "cVersion".
