I tried using WM_COPYDATA and it works good, but the hole procedure is very
slow.


I am using following code to prevent multiple instances of my app.

    HANDLE hInstanceMutex = ::CreateMutex(NULL,TRUE, "SINGLEl.MUTEX");
    if(GetLastError() == ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS)
    {

         Application->Title = "";
        HWND hPrevApp = ::FindWindow(NULL, "MyAppTitle");
        if(hPrevApp)
                // Send Data to first Application (OwnFileName);
    }

If I mark 100 files in the explorer, every single file tries to call my app,
passing its own filename as an argument, right?
this takes up to 12 sec. for speed comparison I added these files to a zip
file using the context menu of the explorer which takes less than 1sec.

So, is there are more sophisticated and faster way to get the filenames of
SEVERAL files that are marked in the explorer?

thanks again
