Software Update: AutoHotkey 1.0.43.06

Version 1.0.43.06 of the program can be downloaded from the AutoHotkey site since yesterday. The new version is via this page available for download in several versions, including an installation package and a zip file. AutoHotkey is developed in C++ and allows you to put frequently used keystrokes, actions and/or button combos with the keyboard, mouse and gamepad behind a hotkey, so that the respective action is performed in one go. It is also possible to convert previously scripted AutoIt2 key combinations to the AutoKey scripting language. Below you can read which changes have been made since version 1.0.43.04:

1.0.43.06

• Changed ahk_id to operate directly on the specified HWND when it’s a control (child). Previously, it operated upon the topmost sub-control if that control had any sub-controls.
• Improved Post/SendMessage to fully support strings put into address variables by the receiver (eg PostMessage, Msg, &MyVar).
• Improved support for control HWND as an alternative to control ClassNN: 1) Added a MouseGetPos option to retrieve control HWND; 2) Added “WinGet ControlListHwnd” to retrieve a list of control HWNDs; 3) Added “ControlGet Hwnd” to retrieve the HWND that corresponds to a control’s ClassNN.
• Added “GuiControlGet FocusV”, which gets the focused control’s variable name rather than its ClassNN.

1.0.43.05

• Fixed and improved support for .ICL files (icon libraries), which was broken by 1.0.43.03. [thanks Tekl]
• Changed case sensitivity in hotkey names back to pre-1.0.43.03 behavior: high ANSI letters like Ä and Ü are treated as different hotkeys than their lowercase counterparts. [thanks copa017]
