I'm trying to close a calculator window and I've tried a half a dozen different ways using class and various title/text combinations, nothing seems to work.

Here are a few of the things I've tried *with and without #requireadmin*

Run("Calc")

WinClose("Calculator")

Run("Calc")

WinClose("Calculator", "0")

Run("Calc")

WinClose("Calculator", "")

Run("Calc")

WinClose("[class:CalcFrame]")

Run("Calc")

WinClose("[CLASS:#32770; INSTANCE:1]")

I suppose I could try other methods like PID and other things that I've seen in the help file but I want to find out what I'm doing wrong here. Any suggestions ?

Any help would be much appreciated. I'm running windows 7.

Use WinWait to give it a chance to open before the close command.

Run("calc")
WinWait("Calculator")
WinClose("Calculator")

Windows' calculator isn't actually a window, is it? It's an executable. How about using ProcessClose?

I ran:

$wTitle = "Calculator"
WinClose($wTitle)

And the calculator closed just fine for me. Windows Vista, administrator account and UAC is off. For what that's worth to you.

The mistake in dierpepsi's script was that it tried to close the calculator window before it was opened.

Yoriz's solution works just fine
