\class QtSingleApplication qtsingleapplication.h
\brief The QtSingleApplication class provides an API to detect and
communicate with running instances of an application.
This class allows you to create applications that cannot have
multiple instances running on the same machine for the same user.
To use the QtSingleApplication class you must provide an ID string
that it unique on the system you run the application on. Typical
IDs are the name of the application and the application vendor, or
a string representation of a \link QUuid UUID\endlink.
The application should create the QtSingleApplication object very
early in the startup phase, and try to send a message or call
isRunning() to find out if an instance of this application is
already running.
If an instance is already running, this application instance
should terminate. Otherwise the application should call
initialize() immediately, and continue with the initialization of
the application user interface before entering the event loop with
exec(). The messageReceived() signal will be emitted when the
application receives messages from another instance of the same
application.
If a message is received it might be helpful to the user to raise
the application so that it becomes visible. To facilitate this,
QtSingleApplication provides the setActivationWindow() function
and the activateWindow() slot.
Here's an example that shows how to convert an existing
application to us QtSingleApplication. It is very simple and does
not make use of all QtSingleApplication's functionality (see the
examples for that).
\code
// Original
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
MyMainWidget mmw;
mmw.show();
return app.exec();
}
// Single instance
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
QtSingleApplication app("MySingleInstance", argc, argv);
if (app.sendMessage("Do I exist?"))
return 0;
app.initialize();
MyMainWidget mmw;
app.setActivationWindow(&mmw);
mmw.show();
return app.exec();
}
\endcode
Once this QtSingleApplication instance is destroyed(for example,
when the user quits), when the user next attempts to run the
application this instance will not, of course, be encountered.
