Hi
Does anyone have the code or maybe give me a start on how to detect if my
program is already running if someone tries to run it again while it's already
running? I know I could do this with a dummy file by putting something in the
file while it's running and emptying the file when it's not running, but I was
hoping for something a little more professional. Has anyone done this yet?

Hi Joe,
You can try this code
' Imports System.Diagnost ics.
Dim p As Process
For Each p In Process.GetProc esses
lstProcesses.It ems.Add(p)
Next
you get a list of process running in the machine may be you can check your
program in the list of process and
if its there then its running else not !
Hope this helps you
Thanks

In VB6 I used: http://internettrash.com/users/fdb/already.htm
If App.PrevInstanc e = True Then
MsgBox("The program is already running!")
End
End If
Maybe there's an equivalent in c#

That's not a terribly *good* answer though - it fails if anyone happens
to use the same process name. I gave you a link to a better answer in
my previous post though.

Hello,
I would like to prevent my perl program to be executed several times
simultaneously (if the program is already running, I would like to display a
message like "another instance of this program is already running, please
try again in a couple of minutes).
For doing this, I guess I have to check the running processes... but I don't
know how to do that and how I can identify my program in the running
processes.

I'm looking for a *portable* program in C (I mean source code)
to detect whether unaligned word access is:
a. handled by the main processor (e.g. x86)
b. not supported (e.g. Sparc running Solaris)
c. emulated in software (e.g. Alpha running Linux)
By "unaligned word access" I mean access to a 16-bit word

Hello,
Is there an API I can use to detect windows processes? For example, if I were to run notepad.exe, and I wanted to pop a message up in my program that said "notepad.exe" is running? How would I do that?
The real reason I want to do this is because I don't want my program interrupting me if certain programs are running, so if media player is running, I want my program to detect wmplayer.exe or whatever and disable itself.
Thanks!

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