Syntax
<Result> = ExeInfo(<Keyword> [, <Executable name>])
<Result>: Character string
  • Requested information.
  • Empty string ("") if there is no information or if the function failed.
<Keyword>: String constant
Information to retrieve:
exeCompanyName entered for the company when creating the executable.
exeCopyrightCopyright of program
exeDescriptionDescription supplied with the program
exeDirectoryDirectory of the executable (without the final \ but with the ":")
If this constant is specified, <Result> can correspond to:
  • empty string ("") if the application was manually started by the user.
  • the exePushNotification constant if the application was automatically started by the system further to the reception of a push notification.
  • the exeInBackground constant if the application was started in the background (detection of group of Beacons or during geolocation tracking).
