Script to close an application

[itauto3]

This solution works, but there's other problem we are facing now. Our application (it's processes are closed using similar script as in the link) doesn't detect this as logout, so user status/session is still seen as 'login' instead of 'logout'. If we click on X in application window, this is regarded as 'logout' as it should be. Application is one of the ERP solution. Any suggestions?

So in what circumstances the user status goes from login to logout? Ask this question and then make a script to automate this and then simply kill the process.

[Juvigy]

Easy and fast is to send an mouse click to the coordinates of the "X" which are always the same. More elegant solution is to use the IE UDF to logout/close the app.

I tried this (it shows all opened windows containing expression1/exp2/exp3):

#include <Array.au3>

Local $var = WinList("[REGEXPTITLE:(?i)(.*exp1.*|.*exp2.*|.*exp3.*)]")
For $i = 1 To $var[0][0]
   If $var[$i][0] <> "" And IsVisible($var[$i][1]) Then
        MsgBox(0, "Open windows containing exp1/exp2/exp3", "Title=" & $var[$i][0])
   EndIf
Next

Func IsVisible($handle)
   If BitAND(WinGetState($handle), 2) Then
       Return 1
    Else
       Return 0
   EndIf
EndFunc

Now, where shoud I put a loop through the returned array and run WinClose on each one?

[itauto3]

Why can't I just use WinClose($var[$i][0]) after MsgBox code?

[itauto3]

If I use this:

$var = WinList("[REGEXPTITLE:(?i)(.*Note.*)]")

all Notepad windows are normally closed with posted code. If I enter part of the name of our ERP window(s), no success.

[itauto3]

I've added #RequireAdmin and it's working now.

[itauto3]

Another question: why aren't all windows closed at the same time? It goes one by one...

[itauto3]

Ok, I've added one for statement.

[itauto3]

I think at the moment this script reacts when user is inactive (idle) for some time (n seconds) regardless the app, e. g. if I have ERP app opened, and I go to other application, after n seconds ERP app won't close, if I act like I'm idle, it will close. Any idea?

[itauto3]

Please, can anyone help me with closing app, that is running in background/behind other windows, that I don't want to close.

No one answered,  so, the script reacts when user is inactive (idle) for some time (n seconds) regardless the app, e. g. if I have ERP app opened, and I go to other application, after n seconds ERP app won't close, if I act like I'm idle, it will close. Any idea?

Show us your code...

[itauto3]

I've tried another option:

#include <Timers.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#RequireAdmin

$count = 0
While 1
Local $var = WinList("[REGEXPTITLE:(?i)(.*X.*|.*Y.*|.*Z.*)]")
_ArrayDisplay($var)

For $i = 1 To $var[0][0]
$state = WinGetState($var[i][0])
$count += 1
       If $var[$i][0] = "" or $state = 0 Then $count = 0
      If $count > 10 Then WinClose($var[i][0])

ToolTip("count = " & $count, 0, 0, "state = " & $state)
Next
Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Wrong copy/paste

[itauto3]

No answer?

[Juvigy]

And what doesnt work on that option ?

[itauto3]

No tooltip and consequently no counting and no closing.

[itauto3]

Now I get a tooltip, but the window doesn't close after count gets to 5 - everytime I get this error:

Unknown function name.:
If $count > 5 Then WinClose($aWindows

If $count > 5 Then WinClose($aWindows[^ ERROR

>Exit code: 1    Time: 10.48

Strange, what version of AutoIt do you have?

Also what is your current code as in the error i see

If $count > 5 Then WinClose($aWindows

And in your example code i see:

If $count > 10 Then WinClose($var[0])

Which is different and i am guessing you have changed more things...

[Melba23]

itauto3,

The error tells you what is wrong and where:

If $count > 10 Then WinClose($var[i][0])

You are missing the leading $ from the $i variable - so AutoIt thinks you are using a first class function, which of course does not exist!
