[himuskanhere]

Hello friends, Can u help me to delay the second instance of application.?? I want my application must be multi instance appliation but if double clicking immediatly second instance should start after some specified delay!! Thanks in advance

Just search for code to do a single instance app, and instead of closing the second instance, have it wait a while before starting. The only hard part then is working out how long ago the last instance was run so you know if yuo need to wait.

hmmm... not quite sure what you mean. But maybe the first thing your app does is to check if another instance is running (maybe with a loop through processes or something), if it finds an instacne, then insert a delay before moving on Have i misunderstood your requirements? EDIT: I didnt think of the checking how long first app been running as suggested in previous post. Why do you need the delay for anyway? just out of interest

My opinion is... If someone has already posted an answer, dont post the SAME answer

Presumably when a new instance starts, rather than creating a lock, it creates a lock with a timer that auto frees itself after X seconds. The second instance would wait till the first instance unlocks, and so on.

Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!
