When the application is started again

[chris.dannemiller@gmail.com]

I am allready preventing a second instance of a application from
running using a Mutex. How can I signal the first application telling
it that the user wanted to start the application again so I can bring a
window to the front for example.

My article at http://www.dalepreston.com/Blog/2005...-run-once.html
demonstrates sending messages to the running instance and bringing the
instance to the front.
