Autoincreasing build number

The Macro searches for the FileVersion section of your projects resource script. The last number of this quadrupel is automacilly increased and written back to the file. At last the project is build as by pressing F7.

As this macro includes full functionality of F7 you can map it to F7 to include the version auto-increment in your build routine.

To access this Version info from within your application use the CVersionInfo class by Roberto Rocco presented elsewhere on www.codeguru.com
