Hello, my question is how to check how many times my MFC dialog application is started. When I start it once, I have an int variable that is equal to 1. When I start it again, it should increase - variable++ and so on. I don't know how to make the check for that.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Solution 1

There are a lot of ways you can approach this.

0) Put the counter in a data file.

1) Put the counter in the registry.

2) Put the counter into a DLL file.
