Terminate a windows process that has a specific window name

[keashdoc]

Hi,

I am trying to write an Autoit Code that will find a window with a specific caption and delete the process associated with that window.  However, I am unable to find any code that does this. I tried this but it doesn't do the job.   Any other ideas how I can accomplish this?  Thanks. 

 

Global Const $partialCaption = "PartialCaption" ; Change this to the partial caption of the window you want to find

While 1
    If WinExists($partialCaption) Then
        Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle($partialCaption)
        If $hWnd <> 0 Then
            ProcessClose(WinGetProcess($hWnd))
            ; Add a Sleep to avoid rapidly closing processes
            Sleep(1000)
        EndIf
    EndIf
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

By default, the match will only be performed from the beginning of the title. You can change the behavior by using AutoItSetOption to change the WinTitleMatchMode setting.

P.S. When you post code, please use the described method in the link.
