I started Uniq class, by now working just for Linux,windows part in development. It allows to have a single application instance running and other instances passing their command line to it.
Example code :

UniqTest.lay :
LAYOUT(UniqTestLayout, 404, 240)
	ITEM(LineEdit, edit, SetEditable(false).WantFocus(false).LeftPosZ(8, 388).TopPosZ(8, 220))
END_LAYOUT


UniqTest.h :
#ifndef _UniqTest_UniqTest_h
#define _UniqTest_UniqTest_h

#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>

#include <Uniq/Uniq.h>

using namespace Upp;

#define LAYOUTFILE <UniqTest/UniqTest.lay>
#include <CtrlCore/lay.h>

class UniqTest : public WithUniqTestLayout<TopWindow>
{
	private:
	public:
		typedef UniqTest CLASSNAME;
		UniqTest();

		// handles news app instances
		void handleInstance(Vector<String> const &v);
		
};


UniqTest.cpp :
#include "UniqTest.h"

UniqTest::UniqTest()
{
	CtrlLayout(*this, "Window title");
}

// handles news app instances
void UniqTest::handleInstance(Vector<String> const &v)
{
	String s = edit.Get() + "NEW INSTANCE LAUNCHED\n  Command line : '";
	for(int i = 0; i < v.GetCount(); i++)
		s += v[i] + ",";
	if(s[s.GetCount() - 1] == ',')
		s = s.Left(s.GetCount()-1);
	s += "\n";
	
	edit <<= s;
	ProcessEvents();
}

GUI_APP_MAIN
{
	// create Uniq object
	Uniq uniq;
	
	// if not inside first instance, send commandline
	// to first instance and leave
	if(!uniq)
		return;
	
	UniqTest uniqTest;

	// setup callback handling other app's instances
	uniq.WhenInstance = callback(&uniqTest, &UniqTest::handleInstance);
		
	uniqTest.Run();
}



This code allows first app instance to start. If you start other instances, their Command Line is routed to it with a posted callback, allowing opened instance, for example, to open a file.
In this small example, it just echoes command line of newly started apps.

Now working both on windows and Linux.

On the way, I've seen how M$ people can complicate simple stuffs...

I know this is an old post. When I try to include Uniq/Uniq.h it fails and I have searched the source files and it does not seem to exist. Is this old code that has been removed or it it in some other repository?

Hi Mirek,

I've got Uniq.t file... here is its content:

#ifdef _MSC_VER
#pragma setlocale("C")
#endif
// Posix.cpp

T_("Error creating interprocess pipe")
caES("")
deDE("")
esES("Error al crear el pipe entre procesos")
itIT("")

T_("Error locking lock file")
caES("")
deDE("")
esES("Error al bloquear el fichero de bloqueo")
itIT("")


It's not from me, as it's in spanish, I guess it was added by somebody else...
