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).

    This constant is kept for backward compatibility from version 230050. It is equivalent to the exeInBackground constant.
