bluebearr Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hey,I looked around but really couldn't find an answer to my questions on the ProcessClose function.First, are there any situations in which ProcessClose will display an error message, or, if it fails, does it always fail silently?Second, the documentation for this function has this line in it:The process is polled approximately every 250 milliseconds.What does this mean? How does polling affect the operation of the function? Does this mean that it takes a minimum of 250 milliseconds to close a process?Thanks for your help.BlueBearr BlueBearrOddly enough, this is what I do for fun.

It would apply to ProcessWaitClose(), not ProcessClose(). Try this for testing how long ProcessClose() takes: $PID = Run("notepad.exe") WinWait("Untitled - Notepad") ConsoleWrite("PID = " & $PID) $iTimer = TimerInit() If $PID Then ProcessClose($PID) $iTimer = TimerDiff($iTimer) ConsoleWrite("Time = " & Round($iTimer, 0) & "ms" & @LF) Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

bluebearr Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 It took 2 ms to close notepad, so I guess that the polling doesn't set a minimum time. I also thought that it looked like it got copied from ProcessWaitClose but didn't know if anyone could confirm this.Bluebearr BlueBearrOddly enough, this is what I do for fun.
