I was looking for a way to send a command to a dos window as well. AzKay's post worked for me, using ControlSend() with @ComSpec. You don't need a Control_ID, you can leave it blank like he wrote it.

That doesn't quite work for Easy PHP as it doesn't have the usual "File" menu options listed. However, I did find a solution while testing out your suggestion. First, I tried using ControlFocus() before calling ControlSend() to pass in "!{f4}" but that didn't work. Next I tried sending the command "!e". "ALT + e" opens a little menu that has the "Exit" option available but I wasn't having any luck activating the "Exit" option from that menu. Just for the heck of it, I passed in "!{f4}" while the "!e" menu was open and it asked if I wanted to shutdown EasyPHP! Using "!e" to open that little menu before I send "!{f4}" gave focus to the window, where ControlFocus() was failing to. I feel like it's a hack to make up for failings in the other functions, but it does work. If ProcessExists("EasyPHP-12.1.exe") Then WinSetState("[CLASS:#32770]", "", @SW_RESTORE) ;ControlFocus("[CLASS:#32770]", "", "[CLASS:ListBox; INSTANCE:1]") ControlSend("[CLASS:#32770]", "", "[CLASS:ListBox; INSTANCE:1]", "!e") ControlSend("[CLASS:#32770]", "", "[CLASS:ListBox; INSTANCE:1]", "!{f4}") ControlSend("[CLASS:#32770]", "&Yes", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]", "!y") EndIf

I've been trying to automate the shutdown and removal of Easy PHP for a few hours now with no luck. It's like a cockroach. I'd eventually like to run this on a computer that will be locked so I'm trying to only use commands that fall in that category. It doesn't react to WinClose() at all. I tried nuking it with ProcessClose() and that works but when I try to delete the file directory afterwards Windows is still holding onto something in the folder directory. I have to restart the machine to get Windows to release the directory so it can be deleted (restarting the computer every time is not an optimal solution). I've tried running ControlSend() using the "!{f4}" command and I get the issue other people were having where it closes the active window instead of the one I'm sending to. This script will be run on a computer that is locked so I can't use Send() with "!{f4}", correct? EasyPHP hides out in the system tray while running so I call WinSetState() to bring up in the task bar. Once it's in the task bar, I've just been throwing different functions at it to try and shut it down. I've commented out the ProcessClose() code while I'm trying different solutions. If ProcessExists("EasyPHP-12.1.exe") Then WinSetState("[CLASS:#32770]", "", @SW_RESTORE) ControlSend("[CLASS:#32770]", "", "[CLASS:ListBox; INSTANCE:1]", "!{f4}") ;ProcessClose("EasyPHP-12.1.exe") ;Msgbox(0, "EasyPHP Terminated", @extended, 2) ;ProcessWaitClose("EasyPHP-12.1.exe") EndIf
