Exiting two scripts ar once with the same hotkey Topic is solved

[soheill0098]

I have two scripts in ahk format and I want to exit both of them with shift + z hotkey at once. So I added

Code: Select all

!z::ExitApp

at the end of each scripts.But the problem is I want to exit both scripts at once when I press the keys but now I have to press it twice. Can you please help me to fix it?

Hello,

Having two scripts with the same hotkey, running at the same time, is a bad idea. It is also not necessary for your goal, because you can simply use WinClose to close another window.

Learn about modifier keys

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

!z:: {  ; ALT-Z = Close another script, and exit
 otherScript := A_ScriptDir '\r.ahk'
 DetectHiddenWindows True
 Try WinClose otherScript ' ahk_class AutoHotkey'
 SoundBeep(1500), ExitApp()
}

Hello, thanks for the help! But I faced the error

Code: Select all

Parameter #1 invalid

It refers to the line

Code: Select all

DetectHiddenWindows True

Not sure what I should do.

Run my script by itself first, with no other code, and no changes. It assumes that you are using AHK v2. Use the last version that I posted (above). Use copy and paste to paste the text into your script file. If it fails, then post your exact script in a new reply below, and include a screenshot of the error message.

Oh I thought I had v2. And now I see version 2 is realesed lately! I have some connection issues with my PC (I live in Iran ). I will inform you the result when I do the process. Thanks again! Bye for now.

You are posting in the v2 forum.

V1 is below.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33
!z::  ; ALT-Z = Close another script, and exit
otherScript := A_ScriptDir "\r.ahk"
DetectHiddenWindows On
WinClose % otherScript " ahk_class AutoHotkey"
SoundBeep 1500
ExitApp

Thanks a lot sir! It was my mistake. Also glad to see there is a v2 of AHK.
