* The project name is Testproj
* You should keep a ProjectHook in the seaprate class library 
*		and do not include it in the project
CREATE CLASSLIB TestprojPH
CREATE CLASS TestprojPH OF TestprojPH AS ProjectHook

* Put following code into the BeforeBuild event
* --- BeforeBuild Start ---
LPARAMETERS cOutputName, nBuildAction, lRebuildAll, lShowErrors, lBuildNewGuids
LOCAL loProj 
lcDate = TTOC(DATETIME())
loProj = _VFP.ActiveProject
loProj.VersionComments = "Project Built on " + lcDate 
* --- BeforeBuild End ---
* Close Class Designer

* Assign the ProjectHook to the project
* It can be done through the Project Manager (PM) or Project object
Modify project Testproj
ooo = _VFP.ActiveProject
ooo.ProjectHookLibrary = "TestprojPH"
ooo.ProjectHookClass = "TestprojPH"

* Make sure that VersionNumber is populated, 
*	otherwise the PM will not create Version* items
? ooo.VersionNumber
* If it's empty, set it to something 
* ooo.VersionNumber = "1.0.0"
ooo.Build(2)
? ooo.VersionComments
* release Project object
ooo = NULL
