Hi there,

The above script doesn't work. I'm trying to launch two scripts, while terminating two other scripts, and vice versa, using Right as my toggle hotkey. Launching the scripts works, but terminating the scripts doesn't. I have tried other options like "Process, Close" but it doesn't let me terminate either. What could be the issue?

Try adding this to the top of your script...

Code: Select all

DetectHiddenWindows, On

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately, adding this to the top of my script didn't fix not being able to terminate my other scripts.

How to close a script

Code: Select all

; This script closes another script
#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33.11
script := A_ScriptDir "\test.ahk" ; Full path to the script to close

F2::
DetectHiddenWindows On
WinClose % script " ahk_class AutoHotkey"
MsgBox 64, Status, Done!
Return

Your uncompiled AHK script file does not run as an executable program per se. It is just a text file. It is interpreted by AutoHotkey.exe (or a variant), which does run as an executable program. AutoHotkey uses the script's path as the leading text of its case-sensitive window title.

Thank you! This helped me understand and fix the issue. I solved it by compiling the targeted scripts into .exe files.
