Hey everyone,
I have an application that I am developing (well, that's obvious!). The
application minimizes to the system tray when it is minimized. I have a
function called Show_Click() that is part of the context menu of the tray
icon. Here's the dilemma I face. I only want to allow 1 instance of the
program (I've already done that), and have the "original" process show back
up on the screen. The problem is, if it is already on the screen (i.e. not
minimized to the system tray), it works perfectly. However, if it IS
minimized to the system tray, how can I call the "Show_Click ()" function?
Thanks for any and all help!

You can PInvoke FindWindow, ShowWindow, and SetForegroundWi ndow to do
this.
There is some sample code here: http://dotnet.org.za/ernst/archive/2004/07/20/2887.aspx

Actually, that is where I found the code to check for single instance.
However, it does not (as far as I can tell) show how to call a function of
that process.
Ideas?
Thanks!

I believe it is in his WindowsHelper class
(WindowsHelper. ActivateWindowB yHandle), which he links to here: http://dotnet.org.za/ernst/articles/3491.aspx

I want to ensure that there is only ever one instance of my app running on a

Problem is, how do I get the "new" instance to communicate with the "old"
instance? The new one will have been started with a command line parameter

Hi there,
I'm having a little trouble getting this, so please excuse me if my question and description sounds confusing or juvenile.
I'm creating a new class called 'Rec'.
And essentially I want to reuse the same instance object (myInstance) every time. So it would be created the first time i initiate the constructor, but the following times it would just refer back to the same one.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
