Dear All,

I cannot find this topic, it might off topic.
I want to activate the minimized program from system tray. It means "Allow to run program once only".

Dutch

Dear EMG,

I'm sorry to explain unclearly. I need to activate the program when the user dblclick on shortcut if program has been minimized. It will protect the user open program more than one.

Dutch

Hello, Dutch!
In my programs I did it such way:

Code: Select all Expand view: if IsExeRunning( 'dispan.exe' ).or.IsExeRunning( 'Dispan.exe' ).or.IsExeRunning( 'DISPAN.exe' ).or.IsExeRunning('DISPAN.EXE' ) if pppp()==1 msgstop('Program is already running.','Ups...') endif return .f. endif

in the start of program. And this is function PPP:

Code: Select all Expand view: #PRAGMA BEGINDUMP #include "Windows.h" #include "ClipApi.h" HB_FUNC( PPPP ) { HWND hWnd; if (hWnd=FindWindow(NULL,"Clinical examination"")) { ShowWindow(hWnd,SW_RESTORE); SetForegroundWindow(hWnd); _retni(0); } _retni(1); } #PRAGMA ENDDUMP

Where "Clinical examination" is the name of main window in program.

Hi Mr.Dutch,

Even the following code also works.

Code: Select all Expand view: SetForeGroundWindow(oWnd) *************************************************************************************************** *** SetForeGroundWindow( hWnd ) to Bring the Minimised window to ForeGround *** *** When the user try to execute it again *** *************************************************************************************************** DLL32 FUNCTION SetForeGroundWindow( hWnd AS LONG ) AS BOOL; PASCAL FROM "SetForegroundWindow" LIB "user32.dll"

Mr Dutch

The above suggestions are good.

You may also like to see "showapp.prg" in the samples folder of fwh.
This sample program answers your requirement exactly
