Closing a window that maybe does not exists

If I use CloseWindow and the program does not find the window give a error message.
Can I do something so that this error message does not appear and the script goes on running?

The new varibale RP_WAIT, what does it do exactly? Wait till all the tasks are done? Or only some of them?

Hi,

Before doing your CloseWindow check first that the window is present with IfWindowOpen.

IfWindowOpen>MyWindow,CloseIt
Goto>Closed
Label>CloseIt
CloseWindow>MyWindow
Label>Closed

RP_WAIT tells the Run Program (Run) command to wait until the application/command/program it has invoked has terminated before allowing the script to proceed.

What do you mean when you say "terminated"?
Does it need that the aplication had been closed?
Please, tell me some examples.

Yes.

Sample:

Code: Select all

Let>RP_WAIT=1
Run Program>cmd /c dir c:\*.* > c:\dirlist.txt
ExecuteFile>c:\dirlist.txt

will run a DOSBox (under NT) which close automatically, piping a dir list of c:drive to a file. Execution off output file will be delayed till writing has finished. You won't get a sharing violation!
