GetMinFarVersion

The GetMinFarVersion is called to get the minimum FAR version required for the plugin to work correctly.

int WINAPI GetMinFarVersion(void);

Parameters

None.

Return value

This function must return an integer in the form 0xZZZZXXYY:

Component	Description
ZZZZ	build number (FAR 1.70.387 = 0x0183)
XX	major version (FAR 1.70 = 0x01)
YY	minor version (FAR 1.70 = 0x46)

It is recomended to use the macro MAKEFARVERSION.

If the required version is greater than the current FAR version, an error message is displayed and the plugin is then unloaded.

Example

// For a plugin that requires FAR Manager 1.70 build 591 or later
int WINAPI _export GetMinFarVersion(void)
{
  return MAKEFARVERSION(1,70,591);
}

// And this plugin will work in FAR Manager version 1.70 and later
int WINAPI _export GetMinFarVersion(void)
{
  return MAKEFARVERSION(1,70,0);
}
