 |
|
(note that PSPad launched ahk script as a child process)
i just thought it would be good if we have additional RunChild command that can launch any programs as a child process
since we often use command line utilities it'll be useful such as not leaving process alone that launched with Hide option when script exits

| I was under the impression that the default Windows behaviour is to make each new process a child of the process that created it... |

currently the process launched by Run command doesn't dependent on script right?
what i meant was make RunChild command to do the job.
| Code: | Run, Notepad.exe
Exitapp ;launched notepad remains
;--------------------------------------
RunChild, Notepad.exe
Exitapp ;launched notepad will be closed automatically cause it has dependency on script |

| That doesn't seem like a Windows feature. Why don't you just use WinClose/Process,Close? |

oh i thought it was an windows feature cause PSPad does it
by the way i found little trick
| Code: | DetectHiddenWindows, On
Gui, +LastFound
Gui, Show, Center w640 h480
uid1 := WinExist()
Run, Notepad.exe,,Hide
WinWait, ahk_class Notepad
uid2 := WinExist()
DllCall("SetParent", "uint", uid2, "uint", uid1)
Return
GuiClose:
ExitApp |
run it and look for these processes on task manager or process explorer
then close it. notepad will be closed together
this is what i was talking about
since people using command line utilites with Hide option
i just thought like it would be good if it can be done via single command RunChild
for saving lines and script safeness?

If a window is closed, it also closes its child windows/controls. When the Notepad window is closed, notepad.exe exits. It won't necessarily happen with all programs.

Perhaps PSPad simply terminates the process - i.e. the way Process,Close would... |
