how to recognize the op system on which my program running?

how to recognize the op system on which my program running?

I need to examine if my program is run on win98.

plz help

One of several hits I got when I searched the CodeBank for operating. There may be a better example.

This might help also.

thx for that

There is actually an API for that... I will post up some code for it...

<<I got this code from API Guide... I take no credit for it. I suggest all of you download API Guide since it contains a list of all the APIs and examples of how to use them :cool: >>

VB Code:

Private Declare Function GetVersionEx Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetVersionExA" (lpVersionInformation As OSVERSIONINFO) As Long
Private Type OSVERSIONINFO
    dwOSVersionInfoSize As Long
    dwMajorVersion As Long
    dwMinorVersion As Long
    dwBuildNumber As Long
    dwPlatformId As Long
    szCSDVersion As String * 128
End Type
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim OSInfo As OSVERSIONINFO, PId As String
    'KPD-Team 1998
    'URL: [url]http://www.allapi.net/[/url]
    '[email protected]
    'Set the graphical mode to persistent
    Me.AutoRedraw = True
    'Set the structure size
    OSInfo.dwOSVersionInfoSize = Len(OSInfo)
    'Get the Windows version
    Ret& = GetVersionEx(OSInfo)
    'Chack for errors
    If Ret& = 0 Then MsgBox "Error Getting Version Information": Exit Sub
    'Print the information to the form
    Select Case OSInfo.dwPlatformId
        Case 0
            PId = "Windows 32s "
        Case 1
            PId = "Windows 95/98"
        Case 2
            PId = "Windows NT "
    End Select
    Print "OS: " + PId
    Print "Win version:" + Str$(OSInfo.dwMajorVersion) + "." + LTrim(Str(OSInfo.dwMinorVersion))
    Print "Build: " + Str(OSInfo.dwBuildNumber)
End Sub

Any problems post up ;)
