Force Multiple Instance Of A Standalone (3rd Party) Application
Jul 14, 2009I need to be able to run multiple instances of a standalone (3rd party) application. This application prevents multiple instances from being ran from within the application. I need to basically override this.
I know it can be accomplished by hexing the original executable, however I would like to stay away from this method as I'd like for other users to be able to use my application from the get go without needing to hex the 3rd party app themselves or me having to send them the hexed app. Is there any way to achieve this or am I just taking crazy pills?
Single Instance Application Won't Load Multiple Instances
Dec 13, 2008I have set the "Make single instance application" check box.And when my application version is 1.0.0.0 for example, it is OK and won't load multiple instances.But when I create a new version, for example 1.0.0.1, then I can run 2 instances of my application, when the 1st instance is 1.0.0.0 and the second instance is 1.0.0.1.What should I do to prevent this?
View 2 Replies"Make Single Instance Application" Supposed To Work Across Multiple XP Users?
Jun 30, 2009I am writing a program in VB.net (vs 2008) that requires that only one instance of the executable be running at a time. Naturally I went for the simple solution by selecting the "Make single instance application" checkbox in the Project properties. Unfortunately, this option does not seem to work across multiple users that are logged into a single XP machine, thereby causing the same issues for my program as if I were able to run multiple instances on one single user. Granted this is a corner case, that someone would switch users while my program is running, but I'd like to understand the limitations. So my question is whether the "Make single instance application" property is supposed to work across multiple users? or is it limited to only one-instance-per-user.
Here are the steps the recreate the issue (prereqs: computer with XP pro installed, 2 user accounts (not on a Windows Domain), and a dummy "single instance" program created using the property mentioned above):
1) Log in with user1, start up the single instance program
2) Switch to user2 (StartMenu -> LogOff -> Switch User)
3) Start up the single instance program using user2
*After step 3, the program launches without complaint even though another instance is running on user1. Is this a glitch? or by design?

View 8 RepliesTransfer Control To The New Instance In A Single Instance Application?
Jul 15, 2011I have a single instance VB 2010 application I know how to communicate with the next instances run through the StartupNextInstance application event. The usual way of working with this is parsing command line arguments of the new instance and continue execution of the old instance. What I would like to do is replace the running instance with the new one. Is there any way to do this other than disabling the single instance property ?

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 MDI Multiple Instance Of Same Form?
Mar 24, 2010I am in the process of trying to build an app that will permit multiple instances of the same form be added to an mdiparent as seperate mdichildren. The reason for this is that the child's data is based on a sql table's row information. Thus child one shows requested data from row 1, child two shows requested data from row 3 etc.
I have this setup so that each child is its own seperate tab in a tabcontrol. My problem is that after the second instance of the child is created the form in the first tab is disappearing after the line:
child.midparent = me
I don't understand what is causing this.
Dim child As Form = Support
Dim tab1 As New TabPage
child.MdiParent = Me

Optimal Use Of Realtime Application List(of T) Avoid Internal Redim Of When One Extra Element Is Added Or Removed?
May 30, 2012I am working on a realtime application where the data is addded to a List(of T) all the time. MB per minute
Elements older than X minutes shall be removed from the beginning of the list to free memory.
As far as i can understand will there be an internal (slow) redim when i add each element after i have reach the number defined with the Capasity metod. (I set that quite big from the start, but the data speed is unpredictable so it can be exceed)
What happens each time i remove and element from the beginning of the list , seems like it takes a lot of time, ? new redim ?
What is the most CPU fficient way of removing 1 or many elements from the beginning of such a list?

Making An Application That Uses Multiple WebBrowser Controls And Multiple Proxies?
Dec 17, 2009I am making an application that uses multiple WebBrowser controls, and multiple proxies.The code for changing the proxy settings are as such:
#Region "Proxy"
Public Structure Struct_INTERNET_PROXY_INFO
Public dwAccessType As Integer
Public proxy As IntPtr
[code]....
Note: getRandomProxy gets a random proxy from a list.Problem is that whenever RefreshIESettings(getRandomProxy()) is applied, the proxy will be applied to all of the WebBrowsers, while i would need to have a unique proxy for each WebBrowser. Not having this would just error out the page in the other browsers and so on.

Custom Single-Instance Application - Read-only Cache
Mar 14, 2011I'm trying to build a single-instance application, but not in the traditional sence. Instead of a simple silent prevention of launching a second application, I want it to send a message to said application so it launches a second mainform in my original process.
(I want some read-only cache (language, style,...) shared, and a few sources like local settings shared, but other then that all resources reside in the mainforms and act as seperate applications.)
(I'm not looking for specific code, more for hints/tips and/or general directions, more specificaly on what parameters do you check process equality, and what method do you use to pass the message? Windows Messages? Sockets? ...)
