    Mutex...Really nice solution

    How does it work ?
    it creates a mutex (shared object that hace a uniqe name)..
    if you try to recreate it you get the error :
    ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS
    this is the whole idea...
    I like your solution.

    Another way (not this good, however)
    is to have a check in sub main for a particular form
    (FindWindow api will find it even if it is not visible)
    you load and do not show. If you find it, program is
    already running, if not, it is first instance
    ie attached code

    But your solution is better...

    ...at present time, using mainly Net 4.0, Vs 2010



    Special thanks to Lothar "the Great" Haensler, Chris Eastwood , dr_Michael, ClearCode, Iouri and
    all the other wonderful people who made and make Codeguru a great place.
    Come back soon, you Gurus.
