EXE as Singleton?

[mphilmon]

Are there any options to compile the EXE as a singleton? I'd like to make it so that our "projector" can only run once.

So simple.... You will also have to manipulate Operating System Registry.

When your app runs for the first time, create a key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE object, having your application name... Or if you know how to work with Registry then put the key of your application somewhere else in the registry. Make your application to read the registry using RegKey Object... and if it is found, shut your application down or prompt an expiration message or do wot ever you want.

i hope it will help you out...

from documentation

You can write some codes in the Initialize script to prevent another instance of the same application from running:

//Finds windows with the same name as this window
var wnds = Window.getWindowsByName(your window name);

//Checks if there is another window has the same name as this one
var w = getMainWnd();
var has = false;

for (i = 0; i < wnds.length(); i++)
{

if (wnds[i].handle != w.handle)
{
has = true;
break;
}

}

if (has)
{

wnds[i].bringToTop();
return false;

} 

return true;
