[Bob Allen]

How do i check for an instance of my application already running.ie: only
haveing one instance running at a time allowed.

Thanks,
Bob :)

Bob,

I thought that this is something that the Application class should pick
up, but it isn't. Oh well.

What you can do in the meantime is set up a Mutex when your app runs.
If your app detects that the (named) mutex exists, then it exits, otherwise,
it creates the mutex and continues on it's merry way. Of course, make sure
to release the Mutex when you are done.

Create a named semaphore. Who ever start first, locks the semaphor. The
later cann't lock it, which mean there already
an instance of you app running

Good luck.
