Par2: Check for multiple instances of a program 2000-01-16 -- Alexey Solovjev Far ago I posted an example of the program which uses mutex objects to
find another its instance. Attached one is its extension which uses
SetProp/GetProp functions to get a handle of first instance's window
from another program instance (really, in this way mutex objects become
unnecessary).
