Hello! Here ‘s a fairly simple example of how to create single instance Applications with LibUnique and Gtk +. I took the example in the documentation and changed it to demonstrate how to pass a parameter to the active instance.How to compile:gcc -o uniquesample uniquesample.c `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 unique-1.0 --libs gtk+-2.0 unique-1.0`How to run it, first launch first instance:# ./uniquesample Then, launch the others:# ./uniquesample "One App to rule them All" Here’s the code:#include gtk/gtk.h #include unique/unique.hstatic UniqueResponse message_received_cb (UniqueApp *app, UniqueCommand command, UniqueMessageData *message, guint time_, gpointer user_data) { UniqueResponse res; /* get text payload from the unique message data*/ gchar *texto = unique_message_data_get_text (message); /* Get the label widget */ GtkLabel *label = GTK_LABEL (user_data); switch (command) { case UNIQUE_ACTIVATE: { gtk_label_set_text (GTK_LABEL (label), texto); res = UNIQUE_RESPONSE_OK; break; } default: res = UNIQUE_RESPONSE_OK; break; } return res; }static gboolean delete_event_cb (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent *event, gpointer data) { gtk_main_quit (); }int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { gtk_init (&argc, &argv); /* Create the UniqueApp Instance */ UniqueApp *app = unique_app_new ("home.myapp", NULL); /* check if there already is an instance running */ if (unique_app_is_running (app)) { if (argc > 1) { /* build a message with the first command line argument */ UniqueMessageData *message = unique_message_data_new(); unique_message_data_set_text (message, argv[1], -1); /* send the message, we don"t care about the response */ unique_app_send_message (app, UNIQUE_ACTIVATE, message); unique_message_data_free (message); g_object_unref (app); } } else { /* this is the first instance */ GtkWidget *window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL); GtkWidget *label = gtk_label_new ("UNIQUE INSTANCE"); /* Makes app "watch" a window. * Every watched window will receive startup notification changes automatically */ unique_app_watch_window (app, GTK_WINDOW (window)); /* connect to the signal so we can handle commands and responses * We are passing the label widget here as user data */ g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (app), "message-received", G_CALLBACK (message_received_cb), label); g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (window), "delete_event", G_CALLBACK (delete_event_cb), NULL); gtk_widget_set_size_request (GTK_WIDGET (window), 300, 200); gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), label); gtk_widget_show_all(window); gtk_main (); g_object_unref (app); } return 0; }
