the "close" tool tip OnAutoitExit

[argumentum]

I've noticed that a tooltip shows when a GUI closes, and could not find a reference in the forums

Anyone knows how to avoid the tooltip from showing ?

thanks

argumentum,

I have never seen a tooltip when exiting. To make sure we are all looking at the same thing, can you please provide a script which shows this behaviour?

this example produces a "Close" tooltip under the cursor after a second or so of closing the script, compiled or not compiled.

Is the same tooltip that appears under the cursor when hovering over the "X" to close the GUI

Confirmed. If you hoover over the "X" in the right upper corner, there appears a tooltip "close".

This tooltip has a little delay. If you press X at once, the tool tip appears after the window has closed.

If you exit by ESC, no tooltip appears.

Solution:

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete($hForm)
            Exit

yes, exactly.

Edit: dude, I love you !. I've been after this for years. I never put 2 and 2 together. Thanks so very much.

Melba23, thank you too for your prompt attention.

argumentum,

I only get the tooltip if I hover over the [X] for a few seconds. Even if it is being displayed it vanishes immediately I click the [X]. As I said I have never seen a tooltip under those conditions - but if deleting the GUI before exit prevents it on your machine, so well and good.
