News Page
On this page I'll report on changes to my web site or related news items.
Don't expect a full-blown weblog, more like a list of highlights in shorthand.
For a file based list of changes look at the What's New list.

• "Big Alain" notified me that my code using
CHOICE to generate a delay in batch files was outdated.
It was based on the syntax of MS-DOS's
CHOICE command, in Windows 10 its syntax has altered slightly, enough to break the original code.
Separate Windows 10 code has been added to the
batch delays page.
Thanks Alain

This has been fixed.

•
ActivateWindow.exe has been updated again:
- with the new optional command line switch
/P the window to be activated can be searched by program executable name (default without /P: search by window title)
The new functionality was based on code by
Hans Passant on StackOverflow.com.
Thanks Hans

•
ActivateWindow.exe has been updated:
- it now accepts multiple titles on the command line (the first matching title will be used)
- with the new optional command line switch
/C the program returns the title of the currently active window
The latter functionality was based on code by
Jorge Ferreira on StackOverflow.com.
Thanks Jorge
