Re: [RESOLVED] Edita Not Opening in Windows 10

One thing Edita does is try to find an already running instance by getting all window handles and sending them a CD_EDITA message, to see if they respond with one.
However, if any window is unresponsive, it will block Edita from starting. When I get this it sits there in task manager with about 18M and 0% cpu. Sometimes if you leave it 4 or 5 minutes it suddenly gets going. The planned replacement (and this very thing was a strong motivator for starting that) uses IUP's SINGLE_INSTANCE method, which has not as yet exhibited this problem, though ultimately I believe it relies on a similar trick except with a WM_COPYDATA message.
To find the version of phix, just run it without any arguments.
