How to exit AHK Script after Programm ends Topic is solved

[need4speed]

I have created a small script to colorize cells in Excel

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, Force
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
#IfWinActive Excel
    F1::
        Send, !HH
        Send, {Tab 23}
        Send, {Enter}
    return
    F2::
        Send, !HH
        Send, {Tab 9}
        Send, {Enter}
    return  
#IfWinActive

I like to have the script exit automatically after Excel is closed manually.
Please provide some hint/code for this task. Thank You.

ExitApp closes AHK. The thing is - how to determine Excel has closed? I would suggest SetTimer every minute or something to see if WinExist, and if it doesn't - see first sentence.

thanks all and please forgive me my laziness.

a simple check does the trick.

Code: Select all

#Persistent
SetTimer, CheckExcelRunning, 1000

CheckExcelRunning:
Process, Exist, EXCEL.EXE
if(!errorlevel)
    ExitApp
