SEND STRG(CTRL) + ALT + F4


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm not trying to do a script in AUTOIT. The Edge Browser should be started and the open windows should be closed.
The key combination for this is CTRL + ALT + F4.
closes all tabs except the active tab.
My script is really simple but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

 

$url = "https://google.de"
    ;Edge starten
    RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c start microsoft-edge:" & $url ,"",@SW_HIDE)
        
    ;Beim Edge schließen wir noch die alten Fenster
    Sleep(1000)
    Send("{CTRLDOWN}{ALTDOWN}{F4}{CTRLUP}{ALTUP}")

You're using RunWait, which means the script pauses until the program started with the Run closes. Then the rest of the script runs, so those commands aren't going to the right window, because Edge is not running any longer.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Hello,

Thanks for the quick answer. I have now replaced RUNWAIT with RUN. No change.

$url = "https://google.de"
    ;Edge starten
    Run(@ComSpec & " /c start microsoft-edge:" & $url ,"",@SW_HIDE)
        
    ;Beim Edge schließen wir noch die alten Fenster
    Sleep(1000)
    Send("{CTRLDOWN}{ALTDOWN}{F4}{CTRLUP}{ALTUP}")

Yes, if you want to send the command to an instance of Microsoft Edge, then you will need to make sure it is active before sending the command.  Assuming that there is an Edge window open, the following snippet worked for me.  Check out the Win* functions in the Help file for more information.

WinActivate("[REGEXPTITLE:.*Microsoft Edge$]")
Sleep(100)
Send('^!{f4}')

Unusually sometimes (every 10 times) it works. And then again not, I have also played with the Slepptimes of this it seems to sen independently.

To check it I used the shortcut for fullscreen before entering it. Also this is only executed occasionally.

$url = "https://google.de"
    ;Edge starten
    Run(@ComSpec & " /c start microsoft-edge:" & $url ,"",@SW_HIDE)
    
    ;Edge Vollbild
    Sleep(2000)
    Send("{ALTDOWN}{SPACE}{x}{ALTUP}")
    
    ;Beim Edge schließen wir noch die alten Fenster
    WinActivate("[REGEXPTITLE:.*Microsoft Edge$]")
    Sleep(1000)
    Send('^!{f4}')

Sorry I can't edit my posts. Now it doesn't work again.

$url = "https://google.de"
    ;Edge starten
    Run(@ComSpec & " /c start microsoft-edge:" & $url ,"",@SW_HIDE)
    
    ;Edge Vollbild
    Sleep(2000)
    Send("{ALTDOWN}{SPACE}{x}{ALTUP}")
    
    ;Beim Edge schließen wir noch die alten Fenster
    WinActivate("[REGEXPTITLE:.*Microsoft Edge$]")
    Sleep(1000)
    Send('^!{f4}')
    Send("{CTRLDOWN}{ALTDOWN}{F4DOWN}{F4UP}{CTRLUP}{ALTUP}")
