 |

I wrote a script called Moffsoft.ahk for keyboard shortcuts which works. I wrote another called close.ahk to close Moffsoft.ahk but I cannot work out why this fails:
WinClose Moffsoft.ahk - AutoHotkey
which is the syntax suggested in FAQ. Apologies for elementary nature of this question. |

Im assuming your Moffsoft script is just keyboard shortcuts, which has no gui so there is really no window to close. Why dont you just assign a hotkey like the following in your Moffsoft script to exit it when you want. I dont see the need for a second script to close the first one, unless Im missing something here.

If you really want to close one script from another, an easy way is to compile the script you want to terminate. That way, it will run as Moffsoft.exe and not Autohotkey.exe. Then you can
| Code: | | Process, Close, Moffsoft.exe |
If you dont want to compile, then you need a bit more code.
| Code: |
IfWinExist, ahk_pid %Capturer%
{
WinClose, ahk_pid %Capturer%
}
else
{
Run,"%A_ProgramFiles%\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\konakm\Desktop\Ahk\capturer.ahk",,,Capturer
}
|
if winclose does not work use
| Code: | | Process, Close, %Capturer% |
This will cause the taskbar system tray icon to not dissapear until mouse rollover though ( another script can fix this, lol )
The code above will launch your script and save its pid for later termination, which also means that your closing script must launch your other script(s).
There might be other ways to do it, but I remember spending a lot of time getting this menu of mine to work, and this is what works. |

| Hi, thanks for prompt replies. Using Esc for exit in Moffsoft - it's a calculator - works perfectly and is exactly what I wanted. I'm afraid 'compiling' scripts and those kind of things are way beyond my competence but I intend to study this a bit more as this stuff is incredibly helpful. |

Check your AHK\Compiler folder, there should be Ahk2Exe.exe in there. Launch it and follow the white rabbit... erm, I mean.. you know...  |
