O código C # .NET Single Instance Application que é a referência para a resposta marcada é um ótimo começo.
No entanto, descobri que não lida muito bem com os casos em que a instância que já existe possui uma caixa de diálogo modal aberta, seja ela gerenciada (como outra forma como uma caixa about) ou não gerenciada (como a OpenFileDialog, mesmo ao usar a classe .NET padrão). Com o código original, o formulário principal é ativado, mas o modal permanece inativo, o que parece estranho, e o usuário deve clicar nele para continuar usando o aplicativo.
Portanto, criei uma classe de utilitário SingleInstance para lidar com tudo isso automaticamente para aplicativos WinForms e WPF.
Winforms :
1) modifique a classe Program da seguinte maneira:
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) modifique a classe da janela principal assim:
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) modifique a página do aplicativo como esta (e certifique-se de definir sua ação de compilação como página para poder redefinir o método Main):
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) modifique a classe da janela principal assim:
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;
}
E aqui está a classe de utilitário:

}
}
if (activate)
{

}
}
}
#if WINFORMS // define this for Winforms apps
