KDSingleApplication

KDSingleApplication is a helper class for single-instance policy applications written by KDAB.

Usage

Currently the documentation is woefully lacking, but see the examples or tests for inspiration. Basically it involves:

Create a Q(Core|Gui)Application object.
Create a KDSingleApplication object.
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.
