WB 2019C Nov 27, 2019 (beta)   

 DLL 6.19csc First appearing in WB 2019C

   Switched to DigiCert Authenticode code signing certificate to code-sign executables installed
   by the WinBatch Setup program. 

   Fixed problem in the MapKeyExist function that caused the function to sometimes return 
   false(0) even though the passed in key existed in the passed in WIL map.
   
   Add support for two new request numbers to the BinaryCheckSum function representing the SHA1 
   and SHA256 hash algorithms. Both requests are available on Windows Vista/2008 and newer
   systems. The new request numbers are: 
    3 - SHA1   Function returns a 40 hex character string representation of SHA1 hash of the
               passed in binary buffer. (Requires Vista/2008 or newer.)
    4 - SHA256 Function returns a 64 hex character string representation of SHA256 hash of the
               passed in binary buffer. (Requires Vista/2008 or newer.)

   Added support for the SHA256 algorithm to the FileDigest function. The request is available  
   on Windows Vista/2008 and newer systems. Create a SHA256 hash by specifying "SHA256" in the
   function's algorithm parameter.
    "SHA256" - Returns 64 hex character string with optional formatting that represents the 
               SHA256 hash of the passed in file. (Requires Vista/2008 or newer.)
      
   Added optional "preserve-data" option to the BinaryClipPut function. Use this option to 
   prevent the function from clearing all clipboard data formats on the system clipboard before 
   adding the contents of the supplied binary buffer to the clipboard. The contents of format 
   type indicated by the function's second parameter is replaced with the new contents in the 
   binary buffer so any existing data for that format is still not preserved.
    preserve-data - (optional) 1 (@True) to preserve clipboard data or 0 (@False) to clean
                    clipboard before writing binary buffer to the clipboard. Defaults to 0
                    when the parameter is not present.
      
   New IntControl
    IntControl(100, p1, 0, 0, 0)
     Sets the minimum hash table size for WIL maps. It returns the previous minimum hash size
     setting.
       p1 - Number indicating minimum hash tables size.

   Added an optional second parameter to WinIdGet function.  Placing the name of a child window 
   in the parameter will cause the function to return a winid for the named child window of the 
   parent window specified in the functions first parameter.
     partial-child-winname - (optional) Name of child window. When this parameter is an
                              empty string or not supplied at all the function returns the 
                              "Window ID" of the parent window whose name appears in the first
                              parameter.
   
   WinIdConvert(i/s:hwnd-winid)
    A new function that returns a raw window handle when passed a "Window ID" (pseudo-handle)
    or a "Window ID" when passed a raw window handle.  This function provides interoperability 
    between WIL Windows function with calls to the Windows API using DllCall, Control Manager 
    functions, and WIL Dialog callback procedures.    
      hwnd-winid -  Either a window handle or a WIL "Window ID".

   Modified the following functions to accept a "Window ID" (pseudo-handle) in the 
   partial-child-winname parameter.  
    
    MouseClickBtn
    MouseCoords
    MouseMove
    MousePlaychil
    WinActiveChild
    WinExistChild
    WinPlaceChild
    WinPositionChild
    WinWaitChild

   WinBatch Compiler 64-bit
    Addressed issue with Windows Explorer file dialog cause the compiler to abruptly terminate
    on some computers.     
 
   WinBatch Studio
    Modified the wCut, wCopy, wCopyLine, wPaste, wCutLine, wCopyAppend, wCutAppend, wCopyMarked, 
    and wCutMarked WinBatch Studio commands to shorten the delay between cliboard access attemps.
 
    Removed the always disabled "Apply" button from the "View" menu's "Toolbars..." item property
    sheet.
 
    Added a new Display runtime errors in Output window" option to the "File types" tab of the 
    "Options" dialog for "WIL" files.  When this option is checked the WinBatch Studio debugger 
    displays WIL script errors in the new "Errors" tab of the WinBatch Studio Output window.  
    Clicking on an error in the "Errors" window places the input cursor at the beginning of the 
    line in the file that caused the error.  When active this option aids in debugging scripts with 
    default WIL error handling disabled.  This option is enabled by default.
 
    Added new 'Find in Project...' menu item to the Projects main menu.  This menu item displays
    a project search dialog.  Use the dialog to search the files of the currently selected 
    Project Tree project. The menu item is enabled when Project Tree window visible and a project
    is selected in the tree.  This menu item can also be found in the context menu of a 
    project of the Project Tree window. The context menu displays by left-clicking on the project 
    name.    
    
    The 'Find in Project' dialog has the following items:
      Find what          Text to find.  Enter new text or select previously searched text from 
                         the dropdown.
      Find               This button begins a search of the files of the selected project. The 
                         button's text displays the "Stop find" text when you display the dialog
                         during a search. Pressing the button when it is displaying this text 
                         halts the current search and the "Stop Find" button text will 
                         eventually change back to "Find" after the search is halted.

       Cancel             This button dismisses the dialog without taking and action.
      Match case         Checking this box causes the search to be case sensitive. Otherwise,
                         the search is case-insensitive.
      Regular expression Checking this box causes the search text to be treated as a regular 
                         expression.  Note: regular expression support is very limited so use of 
                         this search option is not recommended.
