# KDSingleApplication
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`KDSingleApplication` is a helper class for single-instance policy applications
|
||
|
|
written by [KDAB](https://www.kdab.com).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently the documentation is woefully lacking, but see the examples or tests
|
||
|
|
for inspiration. Basically it involves:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Create a `Q(Core|Gui)Application` object.
|
||
|
|
2. Create a `KDSingleApplication` object.
|
||
|
|
3. Check if the current instance is *primary* (or "master") or
|
||
|
|
*secondary* (or "slave") by calling `isPrimaryInstance`:
|
||
|
|
* the *primary* instance needs to listen from messages coming from the
|
||
|
|
secondary instances, by connecting a slot to the `messageReceived` signal;
|
||
|
|
* the *secondary* instances can send messages to the primary instance
|
||
|
|
by calling `sendMessage`.
