Hi,

I'm writing a software which is accessing USB-hardware thru a driver. The
driver is still in developement (not by me, regrettably) and I get it to
feel by hangig. I mean the driver hangs from time to time. That means for
me, my application hangs when closing the communication. Erm I got to kill
the actual instance with the taskmanager to open a new one.
Now my question is: is it possible for me to check if there is annother open
instance of my project and kill it before I gonna try to initialize again?
I mean someting like this:
MainConst::

MainConst()
{
if (GetNumOfInstances(Application->Handle)>=1)
  {
  KillOtherInstance();
  }
}

Technical Details
