Also see Show Application Title, Version, and Company.
For those who want to show the Application Title, Version, and Company for an application on Mac OSX, this can be done using the following method.
This only works if the application has an application bundle; otherwise please see Show Application Title, Version, and Company#Mac OS X and iOS.
// CODE FOR SHOWING APPLICATION TITLE, VERSION, AND COMPANY
uses MacOSAll, CarbonProc, StrUtils;
var
BundleID: String;
BundleName: String;
BundleRef: CFBundleRef;
BundleVer: String;
CompanyName: String;
KeyRef: CFStringRef;
ValueRef: CFTypeRef;
function GetInfoPlistString(const KeyName : string) : string;
begin
try
Result := '';
BundleRef := CFBundleGetMainBundle;
if BundleRef = nil then Exit; {Executable not in an app bundle?}
KeyRef := CFStringCreateWithPascalString(nil,KeyName,kCFStringEncodingUTF8);
ValueRef := CFBundleGetValueForInfoDictionaryKey(BundleRef, KeyRef);
if CFGetTypeID(ValueRef) <> CFStringGetTypeID then Exit; {Value not a string?}
Result := CFStringToStr(ValueRef);
except
on E : Exception do
ShowMessage(E.Message);
end;
FreeCFString(KeyRef);
end;
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
try
Form1.Caption := 'About '+Application.Title;
StaticTextAppTitle.Caption := Application.Title;
BundleID := GetInfoPlistString('CFBundleIdentifier');
'''// CompanyName is presumed to be in the form of: com.Company.AppName'''
CompanyName := AnsiMidStr(BundleID,AnsiPos('.',BundleID)+1,Length(BundleID));
CompanyName := AnsiMidStr(CompanyName,0,AnsiPos('.',CompanyName)-1);
BundleVer := GetInfoPlistString('CFBundleVersion');
StaticTextAppVer.Caption := Application.Title+' version '+BundleVer;
StaticTextCompany.Caption := CompanyName;
except
on E : Exception do
ShowMessage(E.Message);
end;
end;
Sample output:
