I'm a newbie in AHK, so please help me how to close a program without any asking for example when a word document is running, how to close the document but not display a dialog (ask to save document or not).
Please help me.Thanks

ooh i actually have this, i did it to close somoenes document when they press a, but i made it so that when u exit and it says, "changes have been made, would you like to save?" it tabs to "No" and presses enter. here's what i have, maybe u can make an if/then statement to make it see if word is open, but im too lazy to try it out.

Code:

~a::
   sleep, 5000
   Send, {ALTDOWN}{F4}{ALTUP}{TAB}{ENTER}
;  or
;  Send, !{f4}{tab}{enter}
   Return

Thank you so much, but it is not what i mean, I want to close immediately a window without displaying dialog for asking.
Thanks

Strange, since Notepad doesn't. I guess you'll have to automate closing the dialog.

hmm... try this then

Code:

~a::
   Send, {ALTDOWN}{F4}{ALTUP}{TAB}{ENTER}
;  or
;  Send, !{f4}{tab}{enter}
   Return


this will only work with microsoft word though. you may need to do something where it recognizes the title.

I opened a Notepad document, written somethings (no save) then tried this ahk code:

[/code]

IfWinExist, Untitled - Notepad
WinKill ; use the window found above
else
WinKill, Calculator
[code]

But the dialog displayed, beside I don't want to use followed code to do:

~a::
sleep, 5000
Send, {ALTDOWN}{F4}{ALTUP}{TAB}{ENTER}
; or
; Send, !{f4}{tab}{enter}
Return

I want to close immediately document (or process), Notepad program for instance from the operation system, bypass the controling of sofware (Notepad program).
Thanks,

If Process, Close doesn't work, try this:
Code:
Run, taskkill /F /PID %pid%,, Hide
...where pid contains the Process ID. Alternately, identify by process name:
Code:
Run, taskkill /F /IM winword.exe

XP Pro, 2003 and Vista have taskkill; I'm not sure about other versions.

If you don't have taskkill, search for PsKill.
