Summary
Check the number of running instances.
Pascal
public function CheckInstance(MaxInstances: Word; MaxSessionInstances: Word = 0; MaxUserInstances: Word = 0): Boolean;
Parameters
| Parameters | Description |
| MaxInstances: Word | Maximum count of running instances |
Return Value
If fewer than MaxInstances applications are running the result is True, otherwise the result is False.
Description
CheckInstance determines whether fewer than MaxInstances application instances are running. If this is true, the process is registered as a running instance and a notification is sent to all other running instances, otherwise the function does nothing. Note that unlike TJclAppInstances.CheckSingleInstance, the application is not terminated and none of the already running instances is brought to the foreground. It's up to the application programmer to decide what to do if the function fails. You could, for example, terminate the application yourself by calling TJclAppInstances.KillInstance.
