EndDialog(IDOK);
}

Paste the above code snippet inside the "InitInstance"
function.

Answer / sreekanth

A: You need to create a named mutex semaphore when you
start your application. When the second one starts it tries
to get access to the mutex but will fail...


Code:
// app.h
class CYourApp : public CWinApp
{
...

private:
HANDLE hMutex;
};

// app.cpp
BOOL CYourApp::InitInstance()
{
// Create mutex
hMutex = ::CreateMutex(NULL, TRUE, "GlobalMutex");

switch(::GetLastError())
{
case ERROR_SUCCESS:
// Mutex created successfully. There is no instance
running
break;

case ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS:
// Mutex already exists so there is a running
instance of our app.
return FALSE;

default:
// Failed to create mutex by unknown reason
return FALSE;
}
}

Write the constructor of the dialog in private of the class by making the class as single instance class.

Try this....

//...
BOOL CWinAppEx::EnableTokenPrivilege( LPCTSTR
lpszSystemName,
BOOL
bEnable /*TRUE*/ )
{
ASSERT( lpszSystemName != NULL );
BOOL bRetVal = FALSE;

if( ::GetVersion() < 0x80000000 ) // NT40/2K/XP //
afxData ???
{
HANDLE hToken = NULL;
if( ::OpenProcessToken( ::GetCurrentProcess(),
TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES | TOKEN_QUERY,
&hToken ) )
{
TOKEN_PRIVILEGES tp = { 0 };
if( ::LookupPrivilegeValue( NULL,
lpszSystemName, &tp.Privileges[0].Luid ) )
{
tp.PrivilegeCount = 1;
tp.Privileges[0].Attributes = ( bEnable ?
SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED : 0 );


// To determine whether the function
adjusted all of the
// specified privileges, call GetLastError:

if( ::AdjustTokenPrivileges( hToken, FALSE,
&tp,
sizeof( TOKEN_PRIVILEGES ),
(PTOKEN_PRIVILEGES)NULL, NULL ) )
{
bRetVal = ( ::GetLastError() ==
ERROR_SUCCESS );
}
}
::CloseHandle( hToken );
}
}

return bRetVal;
}
