Win7 Task Manager showing incorrect window name

SDL Development
1

I’ve run into another issue. On my app’s startup, I call SDL_RegisterApp()
with a custom window identifier (this is to avoid multiple instances). Then,
much later, I call SDL_SetCaption(), which works fine (ie the task bar shows
the correct name). However, in the Task Manager’s Applications tab, I’m
seeing the name I pass to SDL_RegisterApp(), not the window caption.

Any ideas?

I think this is correct. The Task Manager lists application names, not
window names.On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 5:15 AM, Gabriel Gambetta wrote:
