billshu Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 I am using HotKeySet("{F3}", "StartProcess") to start processing my program. It works great. Now I want to have 2 instances of this program running at the same time. How do i test for this. I put the following in the program. I was hoping that F3 would only start the "Active" program, but it does not work. If ( WinGetHandle("") <> $P3Form) Then PostLog("Another instance of this program is loading") Return(0) EndIf
BrewManNH Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Use GUISetAccelerators instead of HotKeySet, this will make the hotkeys only active when that window is active and not globally. 232showtime 1 If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.
