Closing child process on exit.

[nullschritt]

Hello all, I have a (probably) simple question. For some reason my application is not automatically closing the child process I launch from it(in a simple test program it closes the child process automatically, but in my larger application, it for some reason does not), how would I go about making sure that the child process is automatically closed when the main process exits? It's been quite a bit since I've coded with autoit, but if I recall correctly, there used to be an "onexit" command, which I cannot locate in the help file, I assume there is a new way of doing this, or I am just remembering incorrectly?

Anyways, thanks for reading my post, hope I can get an answer for this problem.

nullschrift,

There is a "OnAutoItExitRegister" command that allows you to specify a function that will run when the script exits.  You can also determine the reason for exit.  See the Help file.

$PID=Run("Childprocess")

Func _Exit()
 While ProcessExists($PID)
  ProcesClose($PID)
 Wend
 Exit
Endfunc
