Possible to exit app from Desktop? Topic is solved

[Evil-e]

I have all my scripts with WinWait & WinClose , but those do not work on one particular window and forget to use my exit app hot key to shut it down manually, prior to closing window

Can I add something like...
----------------------------------------------------------------
$F12::
send C:\Documents and Settings\Eric\Desktop\exit app
return
----------------------------------------------------------------



PS> I tried this and several variations with no success

WinWait & WinClose both have timeout parameters. Also if WinClose fails to work on an existing window you probably need to run the script elevated. (as admin)

WinWait & WinClose fail, as the games executable cycles off / on during loading process and when it passes through the menu. Depending
on how long I spend in menu, there is no way to know how long a timeout is necessary.

This particular games Window Spy code has characters that AHK does not like, so will not launch with this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BF1942 (Ver:24821/2002-08-14, 22:04) ahk_class BF1942 (Ver:24821/2002-08-14, 22:04)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I get: "Error: A ":" is missing its "?" message, AHK will now close, so Window Spy is not an option.

I have F12 mapped to ExitApp, but since all my other games will terminate via WinWait & WinClose, I just forget to use it


So that leaves me with the next best option is to look for a way to terminate AHK, via key stroke, once I have returned to Desktop

You can use partial wintitles:

maybe you're a babe.... I dunno. But either way your help is much appreciated

But, out of curiosity.... is there a way to terminate AHK when at desktop?
