 Posted: Sat Jun 28, 2003 2:14 pm Post subject: Closing Internet explorer window |
 |
|
Is it possible to close Internet explorer window by using @sendmsg.
| Code: |
%P = @sendmsg(Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer - [Working Offline],$02,0,0)
|
and also tried
| Code: |
%P = @sendmsg(@WINEXISTS(Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer - [Working Offline]),$02,0,0)
|
| Code: |
%P = @sendmsg(@WINEXISTS(Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer - [Working Offline]),$10,0,0)
|
I tried and found that only way was to send alt+f4 keys.
Am I doing something wrong ? OR is it just not possble.

There are a couple of ways to do this...
You can use:
| Code: | | WINDOW CLOSE,"Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer - [Working Offline]" |
or you can kill the task with:
| Code: | | KILLTASK "iexplore.exe" |

doesnot work for unknown reason in Xp.
If i use kill task then I cannot be selective on the instance of IExplore.exe. I closes all instances of IExplore.
BTW i was looking for a clean method to close MSIE popups. window close and window send looks like butchering  because it activates the window steals mouse focus disturbs work and then kills it.
I tried @sendmsg on notepad - works
Why does Internet explorer refuse to die

Try Window CLOSE using the window identifier of the instance of IE. You can get the window identifier with @winexists function.
For example:
WINDOW CLOSE,%24323 |

Yes, as PGWARE said, and also you can specify a process ID for
KILLTASK which will be selective.

PGWARE and FreezingFire thanx for Ur suggestions but
WINDOW CLOSE,%24323 does nor close the MSIE window if it is some other like notepad it closes clean. Sending the command twice worked once but not always.
I found a way to close MSIE by using @sendmsg which works very well and MSIE dies a silent death 
It will be very useful for killing popups . I saw Just Another Cookie killer by Garrett. There also window send, is used to kill popups.
Here is the code: | Code: | %a = @WINEXISTS(Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer - [Working Offline])
IF @not(@null(%a))
%P = @sendmsg(%a,$02,0,0)
%P = @sendmsg(%a,$02,0,0)
%P = @sendmsg(%a,$082,0,0)
%P = @sendmsg(%a,$082,0,0)
else
end |
Can somebody with netscape tell me if this works (ofcourse change the window title accordingly)

There is no reason why this should not work with Netscape, Opera etc. as long as you get the right window
identifier.
For instance, you have to be aware that users can change the appearance of their MSIE titles - the 'Microsoft
Internet Explorer' part can be removed or replaced by another string by users.

BTW: Any reason why you've doubled the sendmsg calls? Might be overkill instead of a plain kill

I know But is it not that your window focus is stolen (and cursor also) and this and will disturb your work if you are working on another window?

Sorry SKit but I have already achieved this by sending two window messages -see above. This is the cleanest method i found to do it.
DDE is also ok.
