closing an app before opening

**ThunderStick** · 10-25-2007, 09:02 AM

How can I execute the close command before the load command.
What I need to do is close an open embedded app before I open another using one button push.
Both apps have the same window name so that is the real problem here.

CLOSE(APP)||LOAD
use this tag for long command "||"

If the name is same, try use WindowSpy (autoit tool) to get the window class.
If you want to reopen the app use this CLOSE(APP)/KILL()||LOAD..... (the correct command spec in the skin command.txt)

Here is the code I found and use now.
This works real well..
"CLOSEWINDOW;Form1||LOAD;games.SKIN;..."
They all had the same window text so it made I had to do a little researching.
I new about the || thing but just didnt know the correct command to use.

THANKS FOR THE HELP

You can use this "||" separator to use more command in one line

this is an sample >
"ESC||SETIND;!nR_SHORTER;ON||SETIND;!nR_FASTER;OFF ||RUNW;$SKINPATH$nRoute_scripts\nR_Preferences.exe | Button12 Check;;;"

"CLOSEWINDOW" - This allows you to close any running application based on the given window title. The application may
request the user to save any unsaved data before closing, so beware.
Example: "CLOSEWINDOW;Notepad"
