GuiClose:
Exitapp

do you think you could make it default

But what if you come to a GUI, that when a window is closed you don't want it to stop executing?

How many GUIs do you have to become so lazy?

I agree with Fry.
Gui Close button should ExitApp when GuiClose: does not exist.
But this could break existing scripts.. so maybe in V2.

I disagree. how is AHK to know if this is what you want? what if the gui is pulled up via hotkey?

You could maybe say that a Gui, Show inside an Autoexecute section has this behavior, but one called by hotkey does not, but that makes a debugging nightmare. Also, how would a Gui called by SetTimer act?

I vote against. Would anyone mind if I edit the OP to add a poll?

I support the motion. Chris also likes this kind of intuitive behavior.

maybe this can be triggered with some directive command?
something like #GuiExit

but just to be backward compatibel, this parameter should be off by default, so older scripts dont possibly break

my 2 cents

it's tough to make this not break existing scripts, but also default to having it work as requested. If the point is to have it on by default (to reduce typing), then having a directive negates the effort.

I will admit that I am being swayed to want this, but I don't see a way to make it default without breaking existing scripts.
