double-click file & open in existing instance of an application

T

Terry Olsen

I'd like to know how, when the user double-clicks a document to open it,
to make the already-running instance of my application open the file. I
don't want a new instance of my application to open.

I've read about the Singleton pattern, but am not sure if that would
work in this case.

Hoping someone can guide me in the proper direction.

Thanks!
