Notes
Validation strings are used to provide extra functionality to an icon or a window. Each validation string command can be used in conjunction with any other.
Each command must be separated by the ; character.
An application must ensure that the buffer used to store the validation string has enough free space to handle any extra commands.
Validation strings are used within icons and window title bars.
