Context information service

You use the context information service to obtain information
about an application’s execution context. The service provides
current version information, as well as whether the application
is running in the PowerBuilder execution environment.

Accessing context information

Using the context information service, you can access the
information in Table 21-4.

note.png Using the ClassName function for context information

You can also use the ClassName function
to determine the context of the object.

You can use this information to verify that the context supports
the current version. For example, if your application requires features
or fixes from Version 15.0.1, you can use the context information
service to check the version in the current execution context.

proc.png To access context information:

  1. Declare an instance or global variable
    of type ContextInformation:

  2. Create the context information service by calling
    the GetContextService function:

  3. Call context information service functions as
    necessary.

    This example calls the GetShortName function
    to determine the current context and the GetVersionName function
    to determine the current version:
