Close Window

Closes a window identified by a selector by terminating its process.

Common Properties​

  • Name - The custom name of the node.
  • Color - The custom color of the node.
  • Delay Before (sec) - Waits in seconds before executing the node.
  • Delay After (sec) - Waits in seconds after executing node.
  • Continue On Error - Automation will continue regardless of any error. The default value is false.
info

If the ContinueOnError property is true, no error is caught when the project is executed, even if a Catch node is used.

Inputs​

  • Handle - The handle of the window to close.
  • Window Selector - The selector for identifying the target window to close.

How It Works​

The Close Window node terminates the process of a window identified by a selector. When executed, the node:

  1. Uses the Window Selector to locate the target window
  2. Finds the process associated with the window
  3. Terminates the process, effectively closing the window

Requirements​

  • The window must be identifiable by the provided Window Selector
  • The application must allow its process to be terminated

Error Handling​

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Empty or invalid Window Selector
  • Window not found
  • Process not found
  • Insufficient permissions to terminate the process

Usage Notes​

  • This node closes the window by terminating its entire process, not by sending a close message
  • All windows associated with the same process will be closed
  • Use with caution as unsaved data in the application may be lost
  • For a more graceful close, consider using application-specific methods if available
