How to check if application is allready running and won't be started again ?

[Tdk161]

Hi, I use this simple method

[PGWARE]

Tdk161 that is a very good idea, however I'd recommend using a Windows class instead.

during the DIALOG CREATE command you can add a CLASS MyWindowName

to define the window class name for your program.

You can then check if the classname #MyWindowName exists as Tdk161 pointed out and terminate so duplicates dont run. Using a window class name I think is better in case some other program may contain the same name as your program - while unlikely it may in certain situations.

#Define Function,IsOpen
If @IsOpen(MyDialog)
Stop
End

Dialog Create,MyDialog,-1,0,115,606,NOMIN,SAVEPOS,SMALLCAP
...
...
....

:IsOpen
# Param %1 = DialogName To Test if running or not
If @WINCLASS(%1)
Exit 1
Else
Exit
End

Is this OK
it works OK

I have one more REQUEST...

If Program name (runed and minimized)
Second run of Program name (how to show it on desktop)

If you know what i am saying...

I think this is the best way.
Compile the code, run it once then minimize the window and run it again.

Yes, Thanks about the WINDOW ACTIVATE is just pure and simple...

I have add a title line too...
