monkycheez Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I have a current implementation where I'm searching for numerous windows existing, and if they exist I'd like to close that particular window. Ideally I'd like to keep it within one block, rather than have multiple "if exist then" in a row. Example: If _ WinExists("WindowA", "") Or _ WinExists("WindowB", "") Or _ WinExists("WindowC", "") Or _ Then Send("{ESC}") In this example, I'd like to replace the "Send("{ESC}")" to a "WinClose" (or even WinKill). Is there a way to grab which Window was triggered into a variable of some sort so it could be plugged into the WinClose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamUL Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 You could do something like this with a select. Global $sWinA = "WindowA" Global $sWinB = "WindowB" Global $sWinC = "WindowC" Global $sWinClose = "" Select Case WinExists($sWinA) $sWinClose = $sWinA Case WinExists($sWinB) $sWinClose = $sWinB Case WinExists($sWinC) $sWinClose = $sWinC EndSelect If $sWinClose <> "" Then WinClose($sWinClose) Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancescoDiMuro Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 @monkycheez What about an array of windows? Global $arrWindows[3] = ["Window1", "Window2", "WindowN"] For $i = 0 To UBound($arrWindows) - 1 Step 1 If WinExists($arrWindows[$i]) Then WinClose($arrWindows[$i]) Next Click here to see my signature: Spoiler ALWAYS GOOD TO READ: Forum Rules Forum Etiquette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkycheez Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 @FrancescoDiMuro That's a pretty elegant solution. I should probably clarify that this Window "check" is nested in a While loop that will continuously run and is also looking for other (unrelated) windows to perform other (unrelated) actions. How would the "For $i..." steps work while nested in a loop? Step right thru as if it were individual "If..." checks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamUL Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 For an even simpler use with arrays use For In, since you are only reading the array. You can use it in loops as well. Global $aWindows[3] = ["WindowA", "WindowB", "WindowC"] For $sWindow In $aWindows If WinExists($sWindow) Then WinClose($sWindow) Next Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkycheez Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Thank you @adamUL and @FrancescoDiMuro The Arrays worked as I expected and is a much more elegant solution than having 10 different "if WinExists Then..." blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
