[Help] Simple Program to Close Current Window

[Aeowon]

This is my first application so, be gentle.

I just cannot figure out how for the life of me, how to tie the 'Hotkey' to a func or whatever it needs to be in order to Close the Current Window/Process. I want it to Kill the process by pressing a button on the keyboard and also stay open so that I could use the hotkey to close other applications(loop). Rewrite the code if you have to.. give me pointers. I'm just trying to learn. Is there a book I can buy to learn this stuff? I'm a technology hobbyist and I'm dipping my foot into this territory and heard this is a good way to learn. Thank you.

HotKeySet("{f5}", "close")

Global $ON = False


;close func
Func close()
$ON = True
EndFunc

if $ON = True then
WinClose( "{ACTIVE}" )
endif

Here. Ow and the best way to learn is to read the helpfile(F1), it should be your best friend when coding in autoit

HotKeySet("{F11}", "close")


While 1
    Sleep(10)
    WEnd

;close func
Func close()
WinClose("[ACTIVE]", "")
EndFunc

Thank you darkmaster071 for the quick response and rewritten code.

I'll get to reading now :]

Thanks again.

... Close the Current Window/Process. ...

You might try Alt-F4 instead of a script... but that is not a bad script to learn from.
