    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Questions:

    I have also some parameters in my Qt project file, like this:

    project.pro
    Qt Code: 
    1. VERSION = 11.0.5
    2. DEFINES += APP_VERSION=\\\"$$VERSION\\\"
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    How can i access e.g. VERSION (located in my project.pro) from resources.rc?

    Thx
