I want to close some applications (I have started) at the end of the script.
Currently I do it using "Process Close ..." but this is a hard kill. Would be nice to close it softly (application should be able to ask for saving files etc.)
like it is done by WinClose if used with the main window (similar to Delphis' Application.Terminate ).

example:
run, helper1.exe ,,, PID1
run, helper2.exe ,,, PID2
runwait, mainapp.exe
process, close, PID2
process, close, PID1

Bobo,

this was not my question. I want to do
WinClose PID
I do not have the WinTitle of my application;
it can be that it is all the same WinTitle or WinText
with the PID it would be selectively exactely the window I want.

You understand!?

Thanks for clarifying.

If there is only one instance of the target application in existence, I recommend using "WinClose ahk_class ClassName" (as shown by Window Spy).

If there is more than one instance, you can discover the windows that belong to a particular PID with the following:

if u know the PID then use a loop to get the PIDs of all (matching) windows and when its found, get its ahk_id and use winclose.
