Setting the title text in info.workspaceWindowCreated() using WINAPI::setWindowText

works ono our machine

but doesn't work on customer's machine

We deployed all 3 databases (xxx, xxx_Baseline, xxx_model),

user role: administrator

identical lizences

Kernel version 6.2.1000.1437

Application version: 6.2.1000.14347

The connection to the client is via Citrix

I wrote a job that changes the title text on the developer workspace:

static void test_ws_title(Args _args)

{

int hWnd;

;

hWnd = infolog.hWnd();

WinAPI::setWindowText(hWnd, 'test');

}

it works on our machine,

but it doesn't work on the customer's machine.

Any ideas?

Mea culpa.

Everything works fine - it was my fault.

On our machine the text of the title bar is localted on the left side;

on the customer's machine, it is located on the middle.

... This part was overlapped by the Control-Bar of the RDP-connection.

i.e. the text is ok, I just didn't see it :-(

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Your code works for me too.

One idea could be that another modifcation to the customers installation changes the text too. Code like that may be implemented from infoLog.onEventgoindIdle.

Does the method return true? Otherwise you could try to figure out what error the SetWindowTextW call returns.
