In my last “how to” article I showed how you can select multiple windows with Window Clippings by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking additional windows. You may however come across a window that is disabled and thus cannot be selected. By far the most common reason for this is when an application is displaying a modal dialog box and the parent window is then disabled until the dialog box is closed.

I know I said I was going to start focusing on the upcoming 2.5 release but I needed to make some minor improvements to the way Window Clippings handles external add-ins as a few users have asked about this.

In my last “how to” article I showed you how easy it is to get started with Window Clippings and take your first screenshot of a window, but what about multiple windows? Let’s start again with the capture screen:

So you’ve compared the results of using Window Clippings with the other options provided by Windows. You’ve installed Window Clippings. You might even have purchased a license. Now what?

I’ve just released an updated build of Window Clippings 2.1 with a handful of minor bug fixes. It’s mainly just a few loose ends that I wanted to tie up before I start focusing 100% on the upcoming 2.5 release.

I just heard that I have received the Microsoft MVP award again this year for my contributions to the Visual C++ community. Thanks to my friends at Microsoft. It’s been a pleasure getting to know all of you.

Reader mikedopp asks why he should use Window Clippings over the screen capture capabilities built into Windows. I think the easiest way to explain is by showing a few examples.

Herb Sutter announced some very exciting news coming from the C++ committee. We can look forward to lambda expressions, closures, inheriting constructors, nested exceptions, and more.
