Hi, I use this simple method
| Code: |
#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 @WinExists(%1)
Exit 1
Else
Exit
End
|
I hope that this little code will help you  |

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. |

Exit 1

Is this OK

I think this is the best way.
Compile the code, run it once then minimize the window and run it again.
| Code: |
if @WINEXISTS(#AlreadyRunningWnd)
INFO Program is already running.. activating first window.
WINDOW ACTIVATE,@WINEXISTS(#AlreadyRunningWnd)
exit
end
Title Already Running
DIALOG CREATE,Already Running,-1,0,240,160,CLASS AlreadyRunningWnd
REM *** Modified by Dialog Designer on 9/19/2005 - 22:34 ***
DIALOG SHOW
:Evloop
wait event
goto @event()
:Close
exit
