Detect OS name

[abc123]

is there a way to detect the os name, some procedure like:

Code: Select all

if GetOSName() = "Windows XP"
   MessageRequester("", "Your are using XP")
else
   MessageRequester("", "Your are not using XP")
endif

[Num3]

Code: Select all

Result = OSVersion()

No disrespect, but are you aware there is a 'search' feature available for the forums?

One more question, is there a way to position the save/open requesters to the middle of the parent window?

Did search but no luck

Take a look at http://www.purearea.net/pb/CodeArchiv/R ... Preview.pb
You can position the dialog in the hook...

Search for "openfilerequester position" and you'll get what you want.

Good question, OSVersion is handy and gives one of the following:

#PB_OS_Windows_NT3_51
#PB_OS_Windows_95
#PB_OS_Windows_NT_4
#PB_OS_Windows_98
#PB_OS_Windows_ME
#PB_OS_Windows_2000
#PB_OS_Windows_XP
#PB_OS_Windows_Server_2003
#PB_OS_Windows_Future

But is only for windows, a command like getOSName() would
be very handy, and the info should be available on the system.
(See configuration screen->system)
