In previous versions the following was valid:

int Minor = XTOSVersionInfo()->dwMinorVersion;

In the current version, I get an error stating dwMinorVersion is not valid.  What is the correct
way to get the dwMinorVersion in the current API?Cry

We had to make some changes for compatibility with the latest version of Visual Studio 2013.  If you need to get the OS minor version number you can use the system API GetVersionEx however be aware that Microsoft may not support this in the future.

// Initialize the OSVERSIONINFOEX structure.
OSVERSIONINFO osvi;
::ZeroMemory(&osvi, sizeof(OSVERSIONINFO));
osvi.dwOSVersionInfoSize = sizeof(OSVERSIONINFO);

// get the Windows OS version information.
::GetVersionEx(&osvi);

int Minor = osvi.dwMinorVersion;

Hope this helps.

What?  I thought one of the purposes of the toolkit was to take care of stuff like this!  After all, that is why you have the function XTOSVersionInfo, right?

You can't expect CodeJock to maintain support for this if Microsoft recommends not to use it anymore. This is not how Microsoft wants you to check the Windows version in the future.

I understand that.  However that does not mean everyone has to figure out how to still make programs running on XP, Windows 7, Windows 8.0, Windows 8.1 and future versions of windows that depend upon this function or replacement function to work correctly.

That is the purpose of a toolkit;  the support is added once, and everyone has access to it.

However, it is clear that no one wants that!  So mark my post as resolved, as in, do it yourself.
