\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.
