Script closing another script?

[Shanlar]

Is it possible to have an autoit script close another autoit script? I have tried WinClose and WinKill with no luck. ProcessClose works, but I don't want to close it that way.

$pid = ProcessExists("window_placement.exe")
WinClose($pid)

If I WinClose the interpreter window, then I see no MsgBox with "See Me?". If you comment the WinClose and run it again, then you will see the MsgBox with "See Me?".

AutoitWinSetTitle('I am an invisible window')

WinClose('I am an invisible window')

MsgBox(0, '', 'See Me?')

Exit

Func OnAutoItExit()
    MsgBox(0, '', 'Finished')
EndFunc

Possibly a non process killing method. Further testing may reveal if correct.

In your first script, set a hotkey (in this case, Alt+Win+ScrollLock) that calls a function containing the Exit keyword:

HotKeySet("!#{SCROLLLOCK}", "Terminate")
Func Terminate()
   Exit
EndFunc

(A little off topic, but has anyone else noticed {SCROLLLOCK} isn't in the Send Keys list in the help file? Just for the record, it works, and it's great if you need a hotkey that is really unlikely to conflict with other apps.)
