\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 where only one
instance should be running at a time. I.e., if the user tries to
launch another instance, the already running instance will be
activated instead. Another usecase is a client-server system,
where the first started instance will assume the role of server,
and the later instances will act as clients of that server.
By default, the full path of the executable file is used to
determine whether two processes are instances of the same
application. You can also provide an explicit identifier string
that will be compared instead.
The application should create the QtSingleApplication object early
in the startup phase, and call isRunning() or sendMessage() to
find out if another instance of this application is already
running. Startup parameters (e.g. the name of the file the user
wanted this new instance to open) can be passed to the running
instance in the sendMessage() function.
If isRunning() or sendMessage() returns false, it means that no
other instance is running, and this instance has assumed the role
as the running instance. The application should continue with the
initialization of the application user interface before entering
the event loop with exec(), as normal. The messageReceived()
signal will be emitted when the application receives messages from
another instance of the same application.
If isRunning() or sendMessage() returns true, another instance is
already running, and the application should terminate or enter
client mode.
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 use 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(argc, argv);
if (app.isRunning())
return 0;
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. The
next instance to call isRunning() or sendMessage() will assume the
role as the new running instance.
For console (non-GUI) applications, QtSingleCoreApplication may be
used instead of this class, to avoid the dependency on the QtGui
library.
