Posted by Gabriele Trombetti on May 16, 2002, 11:44 am This seems to be a Microsoft bug. Sometimes when I start the app, it appears in the All Windows list with the caption "Microsoft Management Console" even though the on-screen window title shows it as "Performance" And sometimes it starts with the title "Performance" It's not consistent. If I add a second substring rule "soft Man" then it is sticky no matter how it starts. It seems like FD is not receiving caption-change notifications. Many MS apps start with a caption and then change it as soon as their initialization is complete. If FD does not receive caption-change notifications the caption string inside FD is not updated and sticky flag for that window is not updated. Maybe MMC updates the window caption twice quickly and FD gets only one notification, or MMC has managed to remove the windows hooks by FD... who knows... You haven't disabled the General Hooking from Special/Hooks page, have you? Outlook Express changes its caption everytime you change mail-folder. Could run it and see if FD updates its caption internally (in "All wnds in the OS") everytime you change mail-folder with OE? You mean you have set mmc.exe with no caption (zero length) and you have clicked on "substring", then on Add, and the mmc window does NOT become sticky? This is a surprise (=bug), I have never seen this happening... yes it's supposed to work! Please try this with another application (e.g. notepad) and tell me...
The app is mmc.exe, running a performance histogram: cpu, mem, disks, net, etc.
The window title is "Performance" and it is set to "Exact" although it shows the bug even when set to "substring." Both the process name and the caption are correct in the All Windows list.I would not have this problem, because I really don't care what the window title is. But for some reason, just listing the process name (mmc.exe) doesn't make the window sticky. It seems to need a title to substring. Is this a known problem?
