not able to close Window

[hendrikhe]

Hello Team,

I created a script which helps me to identify Outlook alerts better, because I was missing some important emails.

But my script doens´t stop because even closing the "New Mail Alerts" Windows it seems that it is still active in the background.

I am using the commands below to close it:

WinKill("New Mail Alerts", "")
WinClose("New Mail Alerts", "")

 

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <Sound.au3>

WinKill("New Mail Alerts", "")
WinClose("New Mail Alerts", "")
$a = WinExists("New Mail Alerts", "")

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Is New Mail Alerts Window still active:", $a)

How can I close/kill this Window? No matter what I try the result is always 1:

Try with TaskKill :

Local $iRet = RunWait('TaskKill /IM "' & $YourExe & '" /F')

or

Local $iRet = RunWait('TaskKill /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq ' & $YourTitle & '" /F')

remember that if this is the new version of Outlook, it's comprised of WPF forms. You know, it's basically just a browser app.

 

straight win32 AutoIt probably won't cut it. Better off to look at UIAutomation UDFs
