CHAPTER 21 Working with Applications
Users Guide 585
Identifying your application
Most applications can be identified by selecting Help>About to display
information about the application such as its name, name of the company
producing the application, version, and so on. By default, InfoMaker includes
the application name and Sybase brand information to identify your
application.
You can modify the application’s initialization file so that your users see
customized information about you and your company.
❖ To customize the application-identity information users see in the
Help>About window:
1 Open the application’s initialization file and create an About section by
adding the following line:
[About]
2 Include some lines like the following in the About section:
[About]
developer_name = Sandy Johnson
software_version = 2.0.3 Build 3456
company_logo = C:\work\beach.bmp
email_address = [email protected]
web_address = www.abcnut.com
phone_number = 1-800-8ABCNUT
3 Save the initialization file.
Now when you open the Help About window, you see the customized
information in the Help>About window:
