Easter Egg
Sponsored link: Memory Dump Analysis Services
Debugging Experts Magazine Online
As I promised in the announced Troubleshooting Tool Ideas post you can download from my personal website for free the Demo Tool with an Easter Egg inside:
If you run it you will see the tool window:
If you click on “About” button the normal “About DemoTool” dialog box appears:
However if you hold “Shift” key when clicking on “About” button an Easter Egg appears: the main tool window transforms into graphical surface where all contributors and developers are shown and scrolled up and the tool name is animated. There is also “Special Thanks” section in the list.
All future and updated tools will include this Easter Egg feature.
Some history: the source code for this Easter Egg was written in 1992 for Windows 3.1 and in 1995 I ported it to Windows 95. It still works on Windows 2000/XP/2003 without any modifications. In 2006 I ported it to Windows Mobile.
