Preventing multiple instances of programs running
Post by g3nrw on Jan 15^th, 2015, 4:52pm

I have written a BB4W program where only one instance of the .exe can be allowed to run at any time. Is there any way to add a compiler directive or flag that allows only one active instance of the .exe?

This is documented on the Wiki, I'm surprised you didn't find it (if you search for 'instance' it's the very first hit!):

So many places to look and so little time

Thanks Richard.
