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 it is very much needed.
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.
I am not proposing to make a new class.
I want a property "SingeInstance" in CustApp which activates this automatically.
- Sending messages to running instance.
Again, IPC does it.
I know that, I simply want it integrated in CustApp.
By doing this, 'Single instance' can be a simple flag in the project options.
You may not think this is important, but for beginners, this can be a
tremendous aid.
The easier we make it, the better. Lazarus is a RAD environment, after all.
Michael.
