Good day AHKers,

First, this is a code for a simple GUI script

; Generated by AutoGUI 2.5.8
#SingleInstance Force
#NoEnv
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%
SetBatchLines -1

Gui Add, CheckBox, x20 y23 w49 h23, first
Gui Add, CheckBox, x97 y24 w60 h23, second
Gui Add, CheckBox, x179 y24 w58 h23, third
Gui Add, CheckBox, x264 y23 w64 h23, fourth

Gui Show, w371 h73, Window
Return

GuiEscape:
GuiClose:
ExitApp




There are 4 checkbox - first, seocond third and fourth


Is it possible if you ticked any of the checkbox, it will run the script ahk and if I untick it, it will close the ahk script?

also, how to make it pin to top on specific software like for example, it will automatically pin to top on notepad.exe
