Method wnd.Close

Overload

Closes the window.

public bool Close(bool noWait = false, bool useXButton = false)

Parameters

noWait (bool)

If true, does not wait until the window is closed. If false, waits about 1 s (depends on window type etc) until the window is destroyed or disabled.

useXButton (bool)

If false (default), uses API message WM_CLOSE. If true, uses API message WM_SYSCOMMAND SC_CLOSE, like when the user clicks the X button in the title bar. Most windows can be closed with any of these messages, but some respond properly only to one of them. For example, some applications on WM_CLOSE don't exit, although the main window is closed. Some applications don't respond to WM_SYSCOMMAND if it is posted soon after opening the window.

Returns

bool

true if successfully closed or if it was already closed (the handle is 0 or invalid) or if noWait==true.

Remarks

The window may refuse to be closed. For example, it may be hung, or hide itself instead, or display a "Save?" message box, or is a dialog without X button, or just need more time to close it. If the window is of this thread, just calls wnd.Send or wnd.Post (if noWait==true) and returns true.

Examples

//close all Notepad windows
foreach (var w in wnd.findAll("* Notepad", "Notepad")) w.Close();
