WHATS NEW IN VERSION 1.1?

Most of the changes to this minor upgrade have been made to the MountFocus Runtime Keyboard. The only changes to the MountFocus Keyboard Designer are of  cosmetic character.

Better focus control
The new Runtime Keyboard hardly causes any flashing titlebars anymore. It also has better control over focus and will handle clicks in  empty areas and borders much better than before.

Advanced keystroke sequences
You can now toggle <Shift> <Ctrl> and <Alt> on and off for multiple keystrokes. That is you can  specify a sequence like Press and hold <Alt>, type some keys and then release the <Alt> key. See Keystrokes for details.

New command line parameter
A new command line parameter has been added. It allows you to specify the position of the Runtime Keyboard at startup. See Deploying keyboards for details.

New OLE properties and functions
A few new OLE properties and functions have been added. These are the MenuOn property for controlling the system tray icon  menu, the WinHandle property to get the MountFocus Runtime Keyboard window handle and the Show, Hide and SetToTop functions to control the display of the MountFocus Runtime Keyboard window. See Using OLE for  details.

The keyboard files have not changed so no upgrades of your existing keyboards are necessary.
