In Compiler>Compiler Options>Version Info i can set informations which are are shown in the file properties. To use this informations in an 'Aboutbox', would be nice to get this values in PB constants like:
I don't see any possibility to get this informations on a other way when using PB projects. In this case the versions fields are stored in the pbp file and this file is only updated by closing the project.

Its not ideal, but you can define those constants yourself in the compiler options under "Constants". This way there are still two places to update if you change the version, but at least both are in the compiler options and not somewhere in the source code.

A better solution would be if "Compiler>Compiler Options>Version Info" could use constants from "Compiler>Compiler Options>Constants>Custom constants" in addition to the compile and build constants there.

Until something better is implemented (and I hope something gets implemented before too long...), Freak's suggestion is an intereting and practical workaround. Besides, I'm happy to finally discover some use for those custom constants...

Why PB doesn't have version management constants?

I haven't +1 this? ok.

I just noticed that this topic has been renamed to [Imlemented], does this mean that this function actually exist now?

Can we get official confirmation and details ?

Sure, look at "Version Information" section here: http://www.purebasic.com/documentation/ ... piler.html

Thank you Fred ! What version is this in ?
