Hi everybody,
when I recently went for CT 5.7 I realized that my UniqueInstance doesn't work properly. I use this component to keep only one instance of my app and pass the relative parameters to existing one. In version CT 5.5 it worked fine. Then when I moved to CT 5.7 it just doesn't work. I still have only one instance of my app but the parameters are not pass through. The message is sent but not captured. I had already the same problem when using CT 4.9. The problem then disappears in CT 5.0.

I prepared small example to show the problem. Mainapp is the first to launch and then with button try to launch the secondapp. For the first time, the app is launched well with parameters. But if you try to launch it for the second time then the parameter is not pass through.

Thanks for help.

With best regards

Premek

Does it stop multiple instances under terminal services on Windows server?

Huh, I never try but I do not see why it should not work... :blush:

Maybe you may try it, there are demos included (fpGUI and MSEgui demos are, in fact, console applications) ;)

I tested runonce_postit several times but I don't like it. It use files in temp directory to pass the parameters. TUniqueInstance is very nice because it use Server on main application and send the messages from launched app.
Unfortunately I tested just released CT5.8 and there my problem still persist. The version where TUniqeInstance still works is CT5.5.
Hope that the problem will be solved in future.
Thanks for your hard work.

Hello.
The temp directory is needed only for the "postit" part of the code.
If you want only to run one instance, you only need the "runonce" part of the code that does not use any temporally file.
