Call DLL -- CreateMutex

[jassing]

I need to call CreateMutex to check if the program is currently running or not.

DLL: %SysDir%\Kernel32.dll
Function Name: CreateMutex
Function Parameters: 0,1,SkedStar
Return Value: Int (tried long)
Calling Convention: __stdcall (tried __cdecl)

Fails: Failed to call DLL Function (#2, Line 2)
Ideas?

There are actually two versions of that call, ANSI and Unicode. Try calling the function name CreateMutexA

The unicode version is CreateMutexW

You may instead want to try creating your own DLL to take care of that or compile it into an executable. I can't really help beyond what I suggested, I'm sorry.
