Problem with use of Mutex and System Tray Icon Together.

[C++ Programming]

Hi all,

I m working on SDI type Application, Here i m Using Mutex to prevent multiple instances of my exe.

i m using this code for mutex.


HANDLE hMutex = ::CreateMutex(NULL, TRUE, _T("_315FrYu76A_GlobalMainMutex__315FrYu76A"));
switch(::GetLastError())
{
case ERROR_SUCCESS:
// Mutex created successfully. There is no instance running
break;

case ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS:
// Mutex already exists so there is a running instance of our app.
return FALSE;

default:
// Failed to create mutex by unknown reason
return FALSE;
}
