When you build your application, you can enter version information about your application in the App class's Properties pane. This information is stored in your application's 'vers' resource. For more information, see the chapter on building applications in the User's Guide.

You can use RBVersion in an #If statement to determine whether a use is running a particular version of REALbasic. Based on the result, you conditionally compile code that is available only for that version.

The following includes code only for applications built using REALbasic version 5 or above.

#If RBVersion>5
//include 5.0 code here
#endif
