P6Just1 "FQPgmName PgmArgs" "WindowTitle"
Where: FQPgmName = Fully qualified name of program file or existing shortcut
PgmArgs = Command line arguments passed to program, unless included in shortcut
WindowTitle = Title (Caption) of main window displayed by FQPgmName
Ensure that one instance only of FQPgmName runs. Brings existing instance into foreground or starts a new one.
FQPgmName is the fully qualified name of a program, such as "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\MSACCESS.EXE" that you want to run. This may be any program, even a MS-DOS program.
PgmArgs is parameters (arguments), if any, that you would pass to the program if you ran it from the command line or the Run box.
WindowTitle is the title, or caption, seen in the program's main window. Use only enough to uniquely identify the program.
Note: Beginning with Version 2.50, the window caption is no longer required for 32 bit Windows programs, which can be recognized based solely on their program names.
The program handles three cases.
FQPgmName is already running. Its main window is activated and given the focus.FQPgmName is not currently running. A new instance is started and given the focus.FQPgmName cannot be found. This produces a critical error.Although P6Just1 is a 32 bit Windows program, it can control any program that is accessible to your machine. This includes 16 bit Windows 3.x program and even MS-DOS programs.
The package includes an illustrated color manual, in PDF format, which you may view on-line here.

By Whom |
Version |
Remarks |
| 10/10/1999 | DAG | 1.00 | Initial version, written for, tested, and used by one DataEase client on Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, and Windows XP. Used internally on NT, 2000, and XP. |
| 04/25/2004 | DAG | 1.50 |
|
| 05/01/2004 | DAG | 1.51 | Fix bug that prevents detection of existing window, not noticed in testing. |
| 05/06/2004 | DAG | 2.00 |
|
| 05/06/2004 | DAG | 2.01 | Allow a single command line argument, since we can look up programs' windows by their class names by commenting out Error Code 102, rendering it obsolete. |
| 05/11/2004 | DAG | 2.50 | Use the new CountRunningCopies_P6C and Enum_Windows_P6C functions to terminate the program if another copy is already running. This should prevent additional mouse clicks from causing any harm. |
| 03/20/2006 | DAG | 2.51 | Incorporate new version of function WIL_Program_Begin_P6C, which corrects several obesucre and harmless problems in the initialization code. |
