execute a command upon termination of script?

[notbillcosby 0]

I'm wondering if there's a way to make a script do something right before it closes... or pauses even. I've made a script that hides a certain window, and I'd like it to show the window again when the script is closed or paused. Is there a way to do it?

This will be the function called when exit of the script, is performed. Just replace 'FuncName' with the name of the function that you choose for the task.

Opt('OnExitFunc', 'FuncName')

Func FuncName()
; Last lines of code to run.
EndFunc

I had no idea that existed!

Thanks MHz

I'm probably being both ignorant and stupid, but i'm really having a hard time understaning how this works (even after trying to read up on OnExitFunc as well as Func itself...) well enough to make my damn script work.

I'm just trying to get a damn internet explorer window, that is hidden at the beginning of the script, to unhide itself when you close the script. Upon exit, i just need it to undo this:

While 1
If WinActive("The next page will") Then WinSetState ("The next page will", "", @SW_HIDE)
;I know I'll need WEnd at the end.

Little help? Thanks...

Opt('OnExitFunc', 'FuncName'); Place at top of script.

Func FuncName()
    If WinExists("The next page will") Then WinSetState ("The next page will", "", @SW_SHOW)
EndFunc

Give this a try. It should work, if the title is correct?

I think that's pretty much what I was doing... I get the same error message when i copy and paste your code as i did when I was doing it myself, so maybe it isn't just me... Here's what I have for code:

While 1 = 1

Opt('OnExitFunc', 'FuncName'); Place at top of script.

If WinActive("The next page will") Then WinSetState ("The next page will", "", @SW_HIDE)

Func FuncName()
    If WinExists("The next page will") Then WinSetState ("The next page will", "", @SW_SHOW)
EndFunc

WEnd

The error message that shows reads:

Line 7 (File "C:\ big long path\autohider.AU3"):

Func FuncName()

Error: "While" statement has no matching "Wend" statement.

I don't know why, or where, it wants another Wend statement...

I cannot think of any reason, why you would put, any of that code within a while loop?

Especially a User Defined Function.

Your stuff is all out of order. Try this:

Opt('OnExitFunc', 'FuncName'); Place at top of script.

While 1
     If WinActive("The next page will") Then WinSetState ("The next page will", "", @SW_HIDE)
WEnd

Func FuncName()
    If WinExists("The next page will") Then WinSetState ("The next page will", "", @SW_SHOW)
EndFunc

MHz, the reason is that he wants his script to constantly keep closing windows with that name.

That did the trick, thanks!

And yes... That's why i had the while loop.

Func OnAutoItExit()

;say goodbye

EndFunc

no need to use Opt('OnExitFunc', 'FuncName')

Use the helpfile Luke!

yes, but people may prefer to use Opt('OnExitFunc','FuncName')
