Transfer 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 1 RepliesMake An Single Instance Form?
Aug 4, 2010I have a mdicontainer form that summons forms. My problem is when the a user clicks again the menu for that form, it also make another instance of it.
What I did is declare a public class with a public variable on it ex: Boolean isFormOneOpen = false. Then every time formOne opens, it checks first the global variable I declared a while ago if it's false, if it is, instantiate an object of a formOne and then show it. Otherwise, do nothing. Very static, imagine if I have many forms, I have to declare a variable for each form to check if it's already open. Maybe a method that accepts a Form? Or any more clever way to do this.
Prevent A Second Instance Of A Form To Be Created?
Jul 29, 2010I need my program to open just one instance of each form, and if the person clicks again on the button that opens a form that is already showing, the form should only be brought to front (probably with the "bringtofront" method). How do I do this?I tried checking if the form "is nothing" before showing it, but if I close it and then try to open it again it doesn't work.

View 1 RepliesDeclaring A Object - Instance Of An Object To Be Created When A Form Loads Or Another Class Is Created
Oct 5, 2009If you want a instance of an object to be created when a form loads or another class is created, you have two options:
Public class example
private IAmAObject As IAmAObject
public sub new()
[CODE]...
Or like this:
public class example
private IAmAObject as new IAmAObject
public sub new()
[CODE]...
I always use the first one. It's more type work but I think it's neater. How about you people and is there any real difference between the two?
.net - Single Instance Check Using Mutex?
Oct 26, 2011I'm trying to implement single instance application using mutex.the application can run only one instance from a given directory.i tried to implement it in Applicationsevents class but it's not working.I replicated it with a test harness with a single form.my ApplicationEvents.vb code:
Private Sub SingleInstanceCheck(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.StartupEventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
Dim strLoc As String = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location
[code]....
it runs multiple instances.Things I am not able change:
1.project setting has "Enable Application framework" ticked
2. ApplicationEvents.vb handles UnhandleException which means i cant have a module as startup.
VS 2008 Check If Form Is Loaded Before Starting Another Instance
May 19, 2009I have a Parent form that loads a child form and I only want to allow one instance of the child form. I have this on the button to open the form. Stepping through the code with the debugger it "appears" to work OK when the form is open (I say appears because nothing changes) but when the form is closed it doesn't open as I would expect. What am I missing?

View 1 RepliesCustom 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? ...)
Single Instance Application Won't Load Multiple Instances

View 14 RepliesTurn On The Single Instance Application Choice In Visual Studio 2008 Properties?
Dec 22, 2010I wish to turn on the Single Instance Application choice in Visual Studio 2008 properties. To do so, I must choose "Enable Application Framework". When I do that, my ONLY choice is to choose a Startup Form, not a Startup object. This makes no sense to me. I have a tray application, and I check to see which form I should load, a logon form, or the main form. But since I am forced to choose a startup form, I MUST load the logon or main form to begin with. But I don't want to. I want startup code to determine which one to load first. So then I am playing with making the OTHER form invisible, even if the startup form, but that is a mess.

Nov 12, 2009My problem is when i try to call Application.Run() in a application without a form i get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." when i run it outside VS. but if ran in debug or release mode it works just fine. i may just be forgetting to setup application right, but ive done it before in this same manor and it worked fine.
Sub main() 'this runs first.

Commented out init_timer and init_ready, and now it causes the same error for the myName line. there seems to be something wrong with class Application. btw theres seems to be something wrong with the forum code formatting.
"Simpleton Technique" Is The Term Used To Call "opening A Single Instance Of A Form"?
Dec 10, 2009I'm not sure if "Simpleton Technique" is the term used to call "opening a single instance of a form", so please, by all means, correct me if I'm wrong.I opened a child form using the simpleton technique. The situation is like this:
I have three forms (frmUserProfileManager, frmUserInfo, and frmUAC), and all are child forms of the MDI form, MDIMain.You first access frmUserProfileManager using the menu bar. It opens the form using the simpleton technique:
[Code]...
I think maybe it has something to do with the event (MDIMain_Load)? I feel as if the program is only making a child instance of the frmUserInfo once (since the program only loads MDIMain once). And after I close it (frmUserInfo), it loads outside the MDI. Another thing, how do you kill forms that were hidden using .hide()? Is .dispose() applicable?

.net - Finding Out Which Instance Of A Form Initiated Another Form Or Module
Oct 5, 2010I'm trying to figure out the best way to reference a control on a form from within a module. Unfortunately the form is just an instance, so it's not as easy as calling form.control...
Dim ChildForm As New frmSearch
' Make it a child of this MDI form before showing it. '
ChildForm.MdiParent = Me
ChildForm.Show()
That form has an option for printing, which calls another form where certain options are chosen. The print form in turn calls a function in a module, which tries to reference back to the origional form.
childform as new frmSearch -> frmPrintForm -> sub okToPrint (in module Print)
okToPrint tries to reference a listview on frmSearch, but can't find it.
For Each itmX In frmSearch.lstResults.Items
So the solutions I can think of off the top of my head are:
1. Somehow divine which form is the caller of frmPrintForm
2. Pass ChildForm to the frmPrintForm as a variable to be passed on to module Print..
3. Use frmSearch directly instead of using an instance of it.
Number 1 would be my preference, as I don't want to have to pass forms around like that.
