show a wxApp as application in windows taskmanager

Uwe_C_Schroeder · September 25, 2004, 3:01am

Hi all,

I couldn't find anything about this on google. Well, I've never been a windows
person and only touch those systems if there's no other choice.
Ok, here the question: I noticed that a py2exe packed wx application shows up
under processes in win2k and not under applications. What can I do to have it
show as an application?

Thanks

Actually the application has a window - or better several for that matter.
However taskmanager always just lists the process under processes and not
under applications (another one of those windows specifics I'll never get.
Last time I checked an application is a process, so why distinguish it?).
I guess there has to be something that somehow "registers" a process as an
application. I just found out about this because I had a client on the phone
where the app was stuck and I wanted him to kill it. He told me "there is no
such application" - he was right, but there was a process by that name - find
that out via phone explanations from someone not that versed in handling
computers....

Does your wx.Frame have a title? I just noticed that if there is no title then it won't show up in the applications list. If it does, do you use any non-standard style flags for the Frame?

Yes it has a title. The title is handed to the __init__ when I create the
instance. I'll try to set it explicitly, maybe that makes a difference.
Currently the constructor looks like:

class MainFrame(wx.Frame,pb.Referenceable):
    def __init__(self, xressource, parent, id, title,
                       pos = wx.PyDefaultPosition, size = wx.PyDefaultSize,
                       style = wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE ):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title, pos, size, style)
        self._xres=xressource
        self.perspective=Perspective()
        self._connected=False
        self.diary=None
        self.accounting=None
        self.is_admin=False
        self.accessflags=0
        self.notes=NotesHandler(self,self.perspective,self._xres)

So no, I'm not using any special flags. The pb.Referenceable is a mixin class
(from twisted) which shouldn't affect any of the wx code. It just marks the
instance as remotely accessible.
