close selected window?

[slightly_abnormal]

I'm looking to close a particular window.. by pressing a hotkey.. e.g. pressing alt+esc which will close the currently active/selected window.. and no others unless they active too.

mixing shekanders script with autoitkings script would get it?

shekander (minimizes "any window" to tray")

autoitkings ("closes" all open windows)

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=22915

HotKeySet("{f12}","closewindow")
While 1
sleep(1000)
WEnd
func closewindow()
WinKill('')
endfunc

umm, dont use it if u have the desktop active, it'll kill Program Manager, which is never a good thing... other than that, it should work.

This isn't a really good idea IMHO!

You freaked when my UDF closed alot of your windows.... At least at the time it was in a semi controled enviroment (More so now).

um.. this is a support forum. hello!!

I didn't freak. i didn't expect it to try to kill everything, since that wasn't what it was intended for

now please help another fellow "autoit" user out.

Nah... after that comment, you can help yourself, or get it from someone else... Cheers!

P.S.... IMHO = In My Humble Opinion ... meaning - If you could explain in a bit more detail of closing every singel active window (WinGetTitle('') << gets every active window ... Visible or Not) (You might/will find... that some of the 'windows' you can't see, are pertinent to every day activity of the programs you "might" not want to close). I wrote a UDF to do this already (Controled)... Not the one that shut down your windows in a former script.

[Thatsgreat2345]

HotKeySet("{ESC}","terminate")
HotKeySet("{f12}","close")
Func close()
    $close = WinGetTitle('')
    winclose($close)
EndFunc
Func terminate()
    Exit 
EndFunc
While 1
Sleep(100)
WEnd
Exit

I know it's not a good idea, i'm just helpin out. If he kills a window he wasnt supposed to, it's not my fault, he asked for the script.

Well Atleast this time I know what the script does..

btw the way smoke_n your script wasn't the first script that did something that was unexpected :lmoa:

[herewasplato]

...close the currently active/selected window.. and no others unless they active too...

Your definition of "active" might differ from AutoIt's.

Run this code:

$var = WinList()

For $i = 1 To $var[0][0]
    If BitAND( WinGetState($var[$i][1]), 8) Then MsgBox(0, "Details", "Title=" & $var[$i][0] & @LF & "Handle=" & $var[$i][1])
Next

and change the "8" in WinGetState($var[$i][1]), 8) until you see what you want, then replace the msgbox with whatever you want - perhaps WinKill

From the help file on WinGetState:

Success: Returns a value indicating the state of the window. Multiple values are added together so use BitAND() to examine the part you are interested in:

1 = Window exists

2 = Window is visible

4 = Windows is enabled

8 = Window is active

16 = Window is minimized

32 = Windows is maximized

thanks for the help.. i got it going!

stuck it in one of my apps, and it didn't work.. i also tried

Sorry, but WinClose('') (Note that it is not a double-quote, but rather two single-quotes) will close any currently active window save the scripts GUI window if it has one. If it doesn't then you're implementing it incorrectly.

As for your second script, try changing:

Send("!f4")

to

Send("!{F4}")

Note that this will do the same thing as WinClose('') except for it will close the script's own GUI if present. Also, it will attempt to shut down the computer when no active windows are present.

Edit: Sorry, didn't see the second page, and therefore that the topic had been fulfilled.
