how to properly close pg2

[lokeycmos]

im trying to write a script to close peer guardian 2 with out involving the mouse. i am able to end the process, but it has 'side effects'. when i end the process rather than 'properly exiting' the program, it gives an error msg(see pic). ideally i would rather find a way to 'properly exit' than having to deal with the PG2 Fix utility that is needed to fix the error msg. i tried modifying the code from this post: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=86316 but not having much luck. any help is greatly appreciated! -Joe

Try to use WinClose() instead of ProcessClose()

the problem with that is that when closed, it minimizes to the tray.

If that tray icon has popup menu with "close" option then invoke this menu item.

is there a 'right click' command in autoit? if so, the icon may be in different locations in the tray at any given time. i appreciate your quick replies, thank you. im leaving for work now

Search forum for some clever keywords maybe something like: +tray +popup

I wonder if two consecutive WinClose would do the job. Worth a quick try.

Try the following if PG2 is already running in the systray( if not start it first ;-) ), it'll uncheck the 'Hide window on close' checkbox , then close it correctly next it'll restart PG2 and reset the check box back to normal

(works if PG2 has been installed into it's default install directory)

CODE

ControlCommand("PeerGuardian 2", "", 1172, "UnCheck", "")

WinClose("PeerGuardian 2", "")

Sleep(1000)

Run(@ProgramFilesDir&"\PeerGuardian2\pg2.exe")

WinWaitActive("PeerGuardian 2","")

ControlCommand("PeerGuardian 2", "", 1172, "Check", "")

WinClose("PeerGuardian 2", "")
