\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() to find out if another
instance of this application is already running. If isRunning()
returns false, it means that no other instance is running, and
this instance has assumed the role as the running instance. In
this case, 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 running
application receives messages from another instance of the same
application. When 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.
If isRunning() returns true, another instance is already
running. It may be alerted to the fact that another instance has
started by using the sendMessage() function. Also data such as
startup parameters (e.g. the name of the file the user wanted this
new instance to open) can be passed to the running instance with
this function. Then, the application should terminate (or enter
client mode).
If isRunning() returns true, but sendMessage() fails, that is an
indication that the running instance is frozen.
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 !app.sendMessage(someDataString);
MyMainWidget mmw;
app.setActivationWindow(&mmw);
mmw.show();
return app.exec();
}
\endcode
Once this QtSingleApplication instance is destroyed (normally when
the process exits or crashes), 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.
