Description

The Fnd_Art_About routine displays the About Box dialog in a new process.

If you are using the Foundation Shell, this routine is automatically installed as the About Box routine. The information displayed in this window is obtained from the values set up in the Fnd_Hook_Shell_Setup hook.

If you are not using the Foundation Shell, use Fnd_Gen_SetDatabaseInfo method to configure the information that will be displayed in this dialog. Then use 4D's SET ABOUT command to install this method as your application's About Box handler:

Fnd_Gen_SetDatabaseInfo ("NAME";"Super Accounting Program")
Fnd_Gen_SetDatabaseInfo ("VERSION";"5.0.7 beta 2")
Fnd_Gen_SetDatabaseInfo ("COPYRIGHT";"Copyright ©2006 Amazing Company, Inc.")
Fnd_Gen_SetDatabaseInfo ("URL";"http://www.AmazingCompany.com/")
SET ABOUT("About "+Fnd_Gen_GetDatabaseInfo ("NAME")+"...";"Fnd_Art_About")

Use Fnd_Art_SetAboutForm to use a custom form, rather than Foundation’s default About form, to display when this method is called.
