Smartphone and single Instance of Application

[Matthias Kwiedor]

Hi!

On Smartphone 2003 a Application can only be runned in a single Instance.
That means, if i start the Application a second time the running Instance
get showed.

Now my question is, can i fetch an Event when this happens. I have to
restart some routines if the Application was minimized (for example by
incoming phone call) and get started back with the Icon! I don't need to
know if it was minimized by a call, but i have to know when the user tries
to start it again!



Thanks



Matthias

See the following example [1]. It demonstrates how to prevent
application to be single instance (for more information see Alex
Feinman's post [2]). It also demonstrates how to detect that an
application was run the second time.
