代码c# . net单实例应用程序作为标记答案的参考是一个很好的开始。

然而，我发现它不能很好地处理已经存在的实例打开了一个模态对话框的情况，无论该对话框是托管的(像另一个表单，如about框)，还是非托管的(像OpenFileDialog，甚至在使用标准的. net类时)。使用原始代码，主表单被激活，但模态表单保持不激活状态，这看起来很奇怪，而且用户必须点击它才能继续使用应用程序。

因此，我已经创建了一个SingleInstance实用程序类来为Winforms和WPF应用程序自动处理所有这些。

Winforms:

1)像这样修改Program类:

static class Program
{
    public static readonly SingleInstance Singleton = new SingleInstance(typeof(Program).FullName);

    [STAThread]
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // NOTE: if this always return false, close & restart Visual Studio
        // this is probably due to the vshost.exe thing
        Singleton.RunFirstInstance(() =>
        {
            SingleInstanceMain(args);
        });
    }

    public static void SingleInstanceMain(string[] args)
    {
        // standard code that was in Main now goes here
        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
        Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
}

2)像这样修改主窗口类:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
    {
        // if needed, the singleton will restore this window
        Program.Singleton.OnWndProc(this, m, true);

        // TODO: handle specific messages here if needed
        base.WndProc(ref m);
    }
}

WPF:

1)像这样修改App页面(并确保你将其构建动作设置为page，以便能够重新定义Main方法):

public partial class App : Application
{
    public static readonly SingleInstance Singleton = new SingleInstance(typeof(App).FullName);

    [STAThread]
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // NOTE: if this always return false, close & restart Visual Studio
        // this is probably due to the vshost.exe thing
        Singleton.RunFirstInstance(() =>
        {
            SingleInstanceMain(args);
        });
    }

    public static void SingleInstanceMain(string[] args)
    {
        // standard code that was in Main now goes here
        App app = new App();
        app.InitializeComponent();
        app.Run();
    }
}

2)像这样修改主窗口类:

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    private HwndSource _source;

    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    protected override void OnSourceInitialized(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnSourceInitialized(e);
        _source = (HwndSource)PresentationSource.FromVisual(this);
        _source.AddHook(HwndSourceHook);
    }

    protected virtual IntPtr HwndSourceHook(IntPtr hwnd, int msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam, ref bool handled)
    {
        // if needed, the singleton will restore this window
        App.Singleton.OnWndProc(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam, true, true);

        // TODO: handle other specific message
        return IntPtr.Zero;
    }

                        placement.SetPlacement(hwnd);

你可以使用Mutex类，但是你很快就会发现你需要自己实现传递参数的代码。当我读Chris Sell的书时，我学到了一个用WinForms编程的技巧。这个技巧使用了框架中已经可用的逻辑。我不知道你怎么想，但当我了解到可以在框架中重用的东西时，这通常是我采取的路线，而不是重新发明轮子。当然，除非它不能做到我想要的一切。

当我进入WPF时，我想到了一种使用相同代码的方法，但在WPF应用程序中。基于您的问题，这个解决方案应该能够满足您的需求。

首先，我们需要创建应用程序类。在这个类中，我们将重写OnStartup事件并创建一个名为Activate的方法，该方法将在稍后使用。

public class SingleInstanceApplication : System.Windows.Application
{
    protected override void OnStartup(System.Windows.StartupEventArgs e)
    {
        // Call the OnStartup event on our base class
        base.OnStartup(e);

        // Create our MainWindow and show it
        MainWindow window = new MainWindow();
        window.Show();
    }

    public void Activate()
    {
        // Reactivate the main window
        MainWindow.Activate();
    }
}

Second, we will need to create a class that can manage our instances. Before we go through that, we are actually going to reuse some code that is in the Microsoft.VisualBasic assembly. Since, I am using C# in this example, I had to make a reference to the assembly. If you are using VB.NET, you don't have to do anything. The class we are going to use is WindowsFormsApplicationBase and inherit our instance manager off of it and then leverage properties and events to handle the single instancing.

public class SingleInstanceManager : Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.WindowsFormsApplicationBase
{
    private SingleInstanceApplication _application;
    private System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection<string> _commandLine;

    public SingleInstanceManager()
    {
        IsSingleInstance = true;
    }

    protected override bool OnStartup(Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.StartupEventArgs eventArgs)
    {
        // First time _application is launched
        _commandLine = eventArgs.CommandLine;
        _application = new SingleInstanceApplication();
        _application.Run();
        return false;
    }

    protected override void OnStartupNextInstance(StartupNextInstanceEventArgs eventArgs)
    {
        // Subsequent launches
        base.OnStartupNextInstance(eventArgs);
        _commandLine = eventArgs.CommandLine;
        _application.Activate();
    }
}

基本上，我们使用VB位来检测单个实例并进行相应的处理。OnStartup将在第一个实例加载时被触发。当应用程序再次运行时，OnStartupNextInstance被触发。如您所见，我可以通过事件参数获得在命令行上传递的内容。我将值设置为一个实例字段。您可以在这里解析命令行，也可以通过构造函数和对Activate方法的调用将它传递给应用程序。

第三，是时候创建我们的入口点了。我们将利用SingleInstanceManager，而不是像通常那样更新应用程序。

public class EntryPoint
{
    [STAThread]
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        SingleInstanceManager manager = new SingleInstanceManager();
        manager.Run(args);
    }
}

好吧，我希望您能够理解所有内容，能够使用这个实现并使其成为您自己的实现。

好吧，我有一个一次性的类，对于大多数用例来说很容易:

像这样使用它:

static void Main()
{
    using (SingleInstanceMutex sim = new SingleInstanceMutex())
    {
        if (sim.IsOtherInstanceRunning)
        {
            Application.Exit();
        }

        // Initialize program here.
    }
}

下面就是:

/// <summary>
/// Represents a <see cref="SingleInstanceMutex"/> class.
/// </summary>
public partial class SingleInstanceMutex : IDisposable
{
    #region Fields

    /// <summary>
    /// Indicator whether another instance of this application is running or not.

    public SingleInstanceMutex()
    {
        this.singleInstanceMutex = new Mutex(true, Assembly.GetCallingAssembly().FullName, out this.isNoOtherInstanceRunning);
    }

    #endregion

    #region Properties

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets an indicator whether another instance of the application is running or not.
    /// </summary>
    public bool IsOtherInstanceRunning
    {
        get
        {
            return !this.isNoOtherInstanceRunning;
        }
    }

    #endregion

    #region Methods

    /// <summary>
    /// Closes the <see cref="SingleInstanceMutex"/>.
    /// </summary>
    public void Close()
    {
        this.ThrowIfDisposed();
        this.singleInstanceMutex.Close();
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        this.Dispose(true);
        GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
    }

    private void Dispose(bool disposing)
    {
        if (!this.disposed)
        {
            /* Release unmanaged ressources */

            if (disposing)
            {
                /* Release managed ressources */
                this.Close();
            }

            this.disposed = true;
        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Throws an exception if something is tried to be done with an already disposed object.
    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>
    /// All public methods of the class must first call this.
    /// </remarks>
    public void ThrowIfDisposed()
    {
        if (this.disposed)
        {
            throw new ObjectDisposedException(this.GetType().Name);
        }
    }

    #endregion
}

        }
    }

    static class Program
    {
        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            string[] args = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs();
            SingleInstanceController controller = new SingleInstanceController();
            controller.Run(args);
        }
    }
}

这是我的整个App.xaml.cs，这段代码也将启动的程序实例带到前台:

public partial class App : Application
{
    private static Mutex _mutex = null;

    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    static extern bool SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);

    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    static extern bool ShowWindow(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow);

    protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
    {
        _mutex = new Mutex(true, "YourMutexName", out var createdNew);

        if (!createdNew)
        {
            using (var currentProcess = Process.GetCurrentProcess())
            {
                foreach (var process in Process.GetProcessesByName(currentProcess.ProcessName))
                {
                    if (process.Id != currentProcess.Id)
                    {
                        ShowWindow(process.MainWindowHandle, 9);
                        SetForegroundWindow(process.MainWindowHandle);
                    }
                    process.Dispose();
                }
            }
            // app is already running! Exiting the application  
            Shutdown();
        }

        base.OnStartup(e);
    }

    protected override void OnExit(ExitEventArgs e)
    {
        _mutex.Dispose();
        base.OnExit(e);
    }
}

永远不要使用命名互斥来实现单实例应用程序(至少在生产代码中不要这样做)。恶意代码可以很容易地DoS(拒绝服务)你的屁股…
