General Software Discussion / Re: Gridmove

« Last post by EugeneBriggs on February 09, 2026, 04:35 AM »

Casper 8 opens in a small window in the primary monitor of my desktop x32Win10ProV22H2 system. The 'Copy Drive' window also does, but I want it in the secondary monitor. Four Window Manager programs, after initial success, fail to KEEP it opening there. I want to see wheelie life if GridMove can give a more permanent result. From the extensive documentation with GridMove, I can not figure out how to apply it to my 'problem'. The two Youtubes I found have no sound-track and give ME no useful information. Can you help ?

GridMove can move and resize windows, but it usually cannot force an application to always open on the secondary monitor if the program overrides its saved position. You can create a grid on the second screen and use a hotkey to move Casper there after it opens, but this is not fully automatic. For a more permanent solution, try closing the app while it is positioned on the secondary monitor so it saves that location, or use an AutoHotkey script to automatically move the window to monitor 2 when it launches.

General Software Discussion / Re: How to edit a titlebar from a dll?

« Last post by erpens on February 06, 2026, 01:43 AM »

A DLL cannot directly edit a window’s title bar because the title bar is owned and controlled by the main application window created by the executable, not by the DLL. To change the title text from a DLL, the DLL must first obtain the window handle (HWND) of the target window, either by receiving it from the main application (recommended) or by locating it using Windows API functions such as `GetForegroundWindow` or `FindWindow`. Once the DLL has the correct window handle, it can call the Windows API function `SetWindowText` to update the title bar. In short, a DLL can modify the title bar only after it gets access to the window handle and uses the appropriate Windows API call.

Today it seems to be working as expected.

Sort of.  Still very slow to load pages sometimes... and to post this.

I tried to open a file that is 163MB and it doesn't open it. the current file stays open.

Hmm.. never tried on such a big file.
Can you send me the file in zip to
aghappy at gmail

I will debug with this file and see what to fix here.

Hmm.. That's no good.  Did you download the full repo from github?  There needs to be a "Sounds" folder with .wav files in it. 

With the stick-to-window feature, what is happening?  Do you at least see the list of windows in a listview, in the "Select Window" dialog?

FYI about 80% of the time, I can't access the DC forums, so replies might be delayed.

In my case, the alarm is never going off and the stick to doesn't seem to work.

Don't have thre time to look into it right now, just wanted to let you know.

Maybe some locatisation problem as well?

Don't come here often, but over the past couple of weeks I have regularly had trouble loading the site.

Today got these two different errors:

#1

#2

Had to try posting this about 10 times to get it to post.  Sorry for the double post.  Looks like one of the previous posts that I though didn't go through apparently did.
