Noob question, component version.

Hi, sorry for such a noob question but I'm just starting with the foobar2000 sdk and I'm having trouble finding all the info I need and understanding fully how it works,

Now I just want to print in the console the version of my component.

I'm sure it's a trivial thing but, anyone can help me?

Thanks.

File/Preferences (or Ctrl+P) -> Components -> button: Copy report. It won't print anything in the console, but it will copy to clipboard info about ALL your components.You canalso doubleclick on every component and it will display small window with basic info.

He's asking how he should do it with a function for his own component, not get info from others. This is the development section.
Windows 10 Pro x64 // foobar2000 1.3.10

See console::formatter class, DECLARE_COMPONENT_VERSION macro and initquit service. The last one is only included as an example to trigger the message. I would generally not recommend for a component to spam its version to the console on start-up, mainly because it would be redundant information.

Code: [Select]
#define NAME "My component"
#define VERSION "v1.337"
DECLARE_COMPONENT_VERSION(NAME,VERSION,"Description goes here.")

class my_initquit : public initquit {
public:
  virtual void on_init() {
    console::formatter() << NAME << " " << VERSION;
  }
  virtual void on_quit() {
  }
}
static initquit_factory<my_initquit> my_initquit_factory;

Thanks for the tip foosion. I actually didn't wanted to actually print the version in the console, just a quick test to see how to get the component version.

I was trying to get the component version using the sdk, but I hadn't thought of using a constant..

That would be quite cumbersome. The DECLARE_COMPONENT_VERSION macro defines a componentversion factory in an anonymous namespace, so you cannot reference it from other code directly. You could explicitly defines a suitable factory, but this still is not as straightforward as using a constant.

Thanks again
