Use of IsAppRunning
Quote from CSSystems on December 11, 2024, 9:41 pmI have not used IsAppRunning in the past, but I want my application to check to see if I am trying to run my application a second time.
I placed it in Startup section at the very top with the option to continue or stop the app from running.
To test it, I started my older version of the app. Then ran the app from the development.
It seemed to work great. So I put it into use after compiling.
When I run the program, it detects my app is running. But it should allow me to continue without showing me options because I am only running one.
Is there a way to accomplish this?

Is there a way to accomplish this?Check out the section labelled "Prevent multiple copies of this publication from running at the same time:" over here ... https://winhelp.visualneo.com/Access.html

Perhaps you can post the code in the StartUp section of your pub (that relates to this functionality).

IsAppRunning "[PubDir]iSalute.exe" "[RunningYN]"
If "[RunningYN]" "=" "True"
AlertBox "App Running" "iSalute is already running."
Exit "Exit this app" "Please Stop this attempt to run."
EndIfI will look at other link soon.

Is there a way to accomplish this?If I understand you correctly, when you say "continue without showing me options", you are referring to the confirmation box that is generated by your Exit command ... if so, try
Exit "" "".. on this Help page ... https://winhelp.visualneo.com/MessagesInteraction.html#EXIT ... it says "Leave the title and message fields blank to exit immediately without requesting confirmation"
Not sure where I should call the subroutine CommandLine_onchange.
You do NOT need to Call this subroutine ... a subroutine with this special name is automatically called ... for more detailed info, read this Help page ... https://winhelp.visualneo.com/Access.html ... in particular, the section titled "Prevent multiple copies of this publication from running at the same time:"
