Thanks!
Juha, if you want to implement the single IDE instance, then I would
like to ask you to implement this in custapp.pp. This is useful
functionality for all kinds of applications, and is since very long on
my todo list.
I don't think it is needed (see comments further down).
I think the functionality can be split out in 2 parts:
- Make sure a single instance is running.
The IPC does it by design - you start a server and you have the check,
so you get it. IMO it's not needed to make another component above
AdvancedIPC with exactly the same functionality but different name.
- Sending messages to running instance.
Again, IPC does it.
Actually, you can achieve "single instance" with AdvancedIPC with only a
few lines of code (I think the simplest code would be under 10 lines).
Every application can have different needs about the "single" instance
so a customization is needed anyway (e.g. passing over other command
line parameters etc.)
Juha, I changed the advancedipc.pas unit (this one from the mailing list
is newer than from the bug report). I can prepare a new patch for the
bug report.
