(Not Responding) text stays in taskbar title text, but not main application window

[strelok]

Hi All,

I have an application that we're developing. Whenever the application
enters the "Not Responding" state (ie. windows appends (Not Responding)
to the title bar text and the taskbar text), after the application
starts responding again the (Not Responding) text never goes away from
the taskbar title, but indeed disappears from the main window title.
Anyone have any ideas on how to combat that, or have seen this
behaviour before?

Cheers,
R

I would think that the main way of combatting it is to try hard to make
sure it never enters the "Not Responding" state in the first place. Are
you doing heavy work in the UI thread by any chance?

You *might* find that changing the window title to something completely
different and back again helps it - but I'd concentrate on writing a
responsive UI first
