How to find current exe name without using WinSpy

[deets]

Code: Select all

!f4::
WinGetActiveTitle, windowTitle
WinKill, %windowTitle%
Tooltip, This is working
SetTimer, ToolTipOff, -5000
Return

I'm currently using this, but sometimes I want to use TaskKill on the main program. WinGet only gives me window title or PID, which is not very reliable. How do I get the exe name of the ACTIVE WINDOW so I can kill it?

get the exe name of the ACTIVE WINDOW

Look at the WinGet doc. For example:

Code: Select all

WinGet,ActiveExeName,ProcessName,A

Hallo,
or as part of a separate script for tasks that require admin rights:

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, Force
If !A_IsAdmin
    Run *RunAs "%A_ScriptFullPath%"
!F4::
WinGet, PID, PID, A
WinClose, A,, .5 ; first gently
RunWait, taskkill /pid %PID%,, hide
Return ; then radically
