Ultimately 8/2 /2 will now return 2 (as it is running the equivalent of (8/2)/2) instead of 8 (as it used to run the equivalent of 8/(2/2)). I.E. The change makes Math work as it does in VBA and most other programming languages.
  • 2021-06-27 stdArray FIX - stdArray#arr() should use CopyVariant instead of =

  • 2021-07-10 stdProcess FIX - Removed stdProcess#moduleID as it was always returning 0. Need to look into how to get moduleIDs in a class based setting.
  • 2021-07-10 stdProcess NOTE - Added documentation note to all Time functions of stdProcess e.g. stdProcess#TimeCreated(), indicating that this function currently always returns time in UTC timezone.
  • 2021-07-10 stdProcess BREAKING - stdProcess::getProcessImageName set to Private. This function should never have been public. Replace with stdProcess.Create(...).path
  • 2021-07-10 stdEnumerator FIX - Fixed issue with stdEnumerator::CreateFromListObject() - compile error due to lack of test. Test added now and 100% working.

  • 2021-09-24 stdWindow FIX - Activate now works for windows outside of the Excel process too.
  • 2021-09-24 stdWindow FEATURE - Added SendKeysMessage(), SendKeysEvent() and SendKeysInput() which can be used to send keys to a window. SendKeysMessage uses PostMessageA, SendKeysEvent uses Keybd_event and SendKeysInput uses SendInput.
  • 2021-10-05 stdEnumerator FEATURE - Added stdEnumerator#First(iCount) useful for testing on a small subset of a large enumerator dataset.
