If you make a public function similar to this
Public Shared Function PrevInstance() As Process
Dim c As Process = Process.GetCurrentProcess()
Dim p As Process
For Each p In Process.GetProcessesByName(c.ProcessName)
If p.Id <> c.Id Then
If p.MainModule.FileName = c.MainModule.FileName Then
Return p
End If
End If
Next p
Return Nothing
End Function
And then call it from say the Form load event or a sub main
If Not PrevInstance() Is Nothing Then
MsgBox("Myapp is already running !", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Myapp")
End
' Else
' Exit.
End If
Hope this helps...
