I have been mucking around with this for about a year now and haven't found a solution.
We have a few gambas applications that are treated as pop-ups by the users. That is, they click on some type of launcher (be it a desktop item, a menu item or in our case a wbar icon) and the application starts. Then they minimize it, or go to another desktop, or any other way to hide the application window. Then they relaunch it... ... and get another instance running. However, sort of like things like Evolution, we only want to have one copy of these applications running. So we need some sort of "mutex" checker that ensures that they can only run one instance of the application. So far, I have found that I can use gb.desktop to detect another instance via the window title and just exit gracefully with a "Another instance of xxxxxxxxxxx is running" message. Blah! That doesn't really do what I want. What I want (what I really, really want) is a way to activate the window found and then exit. Any clues? regards Bruce ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
