How to get DIAdem version with VBS?

[franco__]

Hi all,

We have DIAdem 2017 and 2020 in our group, and we have a new python code that we will use. We have a button to run it automatically, but first I would like to check if the DIAdem version is the correct one, and if not give the user a warning that they're using the wrong version.

How can I retrieve either the DIAdem version via VBS, or whether this DIAdem installation allows python scripts to be run?

Thanks a lot

Hi franco,

The DIAdem variables "ProgramBuild", "ProgramVersion" or "ProgramVersionName" should be what you are looking for. You can just look these up in the DIAdem Help for more information.

Hope I could help.

Hi All,

Let me just add the following global variable, which includes the major and minor DIAdem version in one integer-- ready for > or < numerical comparisons.

ProgramRevision
