Hi!

If you are using Clarion 6.2 or higher, check out the BeginUnique() function in cwutil.inc.

From the Help ::

BeginUnique (Set Application to Run in a Single Process)
 

BeginUnique( applicationname )

 

BeginUnique
 Sets an application to run as a single process
 
applicationname
 A string constant or variable that specifies name of your application. Example: ‘INVOICE.EXE’
 

BeginUnique returns FALSE if the program specified in applicationname is already running (active). If not running, BeginUnique returns an event number specified by Windows. This event number can be used by the EndUnique statement to terminate the single process mode.

To add this function to your existing applications, you need only include the CWUTIL.INC file in the Global Map section of your program:

INCLUDE('CWUTIL.INC'),ONCE

Return Data Type:     LONG

Example:

IF NOT BeginUnique(GLO:ApplicationName)

 MESSAGE(CLIP(GLO:ApplicationName) & ' already running.')

 RETURN

ELSE

 RUN(GLO:ApplicationName)

END

EndUnique

Hi!

Check out vuFileTools from

http://www.valutilities.com.

Not sure if it will work for Clarion 4 though.
