	Overview

COXCustomizeInstanceManagerPage is COXCustomizePage-derived class. It implements one of the 
predefined (standard) customize pages that is responsible for customizing Instance 
Manager settings. Instance manager allows you to get information about all running 
instances of the application. You can specify the maximum number of instances running 
simultaneously. Also it allows you to apply some standard operations to the currently
running instances ("Close", "Switch to...", "Bring To Front", "Maximize", "Minimize",
"Restore").

This standard page will be automatically inserted in the customize manager if you
add the following define to your stdafx.h file:

	#define OX_CUSTOMIZE_INSTANCE_MANAGER

In order to initialize the page you must call the following function:

	virtual BOOL InitializeInstanceManager(
		int nMaxAllowedInstances=OX_MAX_NUM_INSTANCES_IN_LIST,
		LPCTSTR lpszProfileName=_T("CustomizeInstanceManager")) 

Internally we use COXInstanceManager object to handle all issues related to 
the functionality of this customize page. Refere to the documentation on this class
for more details.

!!!!!
In order to use Instance Manager in your application you have to call the 
COXCustomizeManager::CheckMaxAllowedInstances() function in OnCreate() handler 
of the main window of the application before creating it. In the case this
function returns FALSE you have to return -1 from OnCreate() right away; 
otherwise you can go on with creation of the main window of the application.

	int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
	{
		. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
		if(m_customizeManager.CheckMaxAllowedInstances())
		{
			TRACE(_T("CMainFrame::OnCreate: the maximum allowed number of instances has been reached. The application won't be loaded\n"));
			return -1;
		}
		. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
	}
!!!!!

This class implements the set of virtual functions defined in the COXCustomizePage 
class that must be implemented by any page.




The best way of learning about Customize manager capabilities is to take look at the 
VisualStudioLikeDemo sample that can be found in the 
.\Samples\Advanced\VisualStudioLikeDemo subdirectory of your Ultimate Toolbox 
directory. In the sample menu choose "View"-"Customize" in order to display the 
Customize manager window.
