Thread: Is it possible Pt.2

I have a project that has buttons that lead to functions that dont work in Win2000/NT at all. Is there way my project can detect what operating system its launched in, and disable those buttons when in a 2000/NT enviroment and enable again when in xp/98/me. thanks.

Thanks for the quickness, I will try it when I get home and let you know how it goes.

Worm (or anybody else) would you be so kind as to show me a code to use that action to hide a button if the operating system is is not present and vise versa, thanks.

This is what I could fiqure out so far, but im not sure if thats gonna get me anywhere.

OS_versioninfo = System.GetOSversioninfo()
if (OS_versioninfo=="Windows XP") or (OS_versioninfo=="Windows ME") or (OS_versioninfo=="Windows 98")

Code:

OS_versioninfo = System.GetOSName
if OS_versioninfo == "Windows XP" then
     Button.SetVisible("ButtonXP", true);
     Button.SetVisible("Button98", false);
elseif OS_versioninfo == "Windows 98" then
     Button.SetVisible("ButtonXP", false);
     Button.SetVisible("Button98", true);
elseif OS_versioninfo == "" then
     Dialog.Message("Error", "There was an error.");
end

I ran the code below on a XP system but the buttons still showed up, is there something wrong In the code pls let me know thanks.

OS_versioninfo = System.GetOSName
if OS_versioninfo == "Windows XP" then
Button.SetVisible("Buttonxp1", false);
Button.SetVisible("Buttonxp2", false);
elseif OS_versioninfo == "Windows 98" then
Button.SetVisible("Buttonxp1", true);
Button.SetVisible("Buttonxp2", true);
elseif OS_versioninfo == "Windows Me" then
Button.SetVisible("Buttonxp1", true);
Button.SetVisible("Buttonxp2", true);
elseif OS_versioninfo == "Windows 2000" then
Button.SetVisible("Buttonxp1", false);
Button.SetVisible("Buttonxp2", false);
elseif OS_versioninfo == "Windows NT" then
Button.SetVisible("Buttonxp1", false);
Button.SetVisible("Buttonxp2", false);
end

That is what I get for not typing the code in AMS first. Sorry I forgot a couple of ().

Code:

OS_versioninfo = System.GetOSName();
if OS_versioninfo == "Windows XP" or OS_versioninfo == "Windows 2000" or OS_versioninfo == "Windows NT 4" OS_versioninfo == "Windows NT 3" then
	Button.SetVisible("Buttonxp1", false);
	Button.SetVisible("Buttonxp2", false);
elseif OS_versioninfo == "Windows 98" or OS_versioninfo == "Windows ME" then
	Button.SetVisible("Buttonxp1", true);
	Button.SetVisible("Buttonxp2", true);
end

I tried to combine a couple of the checks since you were performing the same action for different OS versions. Let me know if that works for you.

Once again thanks for takin your time and helping me out..It works!!!!! I think that irons out every single problem Ive had. This is the best program I think I have ever used. thanks again.

no problemo

Amen. I can testify to that. I'm just glad he isn't after my job.
