How get the Event Close position? [Solved]

[RCLens]

Hello,

I'd like to get the 'event close position' (like a GUI), when I run an application. Is it possible to get it? For instance, I'd like to know the position of the event for closing notepad.

Thanks, I'm a beginned in Autoit.

@RCLens not sure what you mean by event close position, exactly. Are you talking about simply a flag when the application is closed? If so, you can use WinExist or ProcessExist/ProcessClose in the help file, among other methods. If you could clarify what you're trying to do we can better assist.

Hi,

 

For instance I'd like to know the position of the close button (I mean the red cross button closing a window for any application).

It could be nice to know how can I get the position of this red cross button, even when the window is moving.

 

Thank you for you help.

Here is a way to do it. It works if you don't mind mouse moving all over the screen. You can also use controlsend ALT+F4 to window you want to close.

 

$WinPos = WinGetPos ( "Untitled" )
WinActivate ("Untitled")
MouseClick ("left", $WinPos[0] + $WinPos[2] - 15 , $WinPos[1] + 10, 1, 0)

No, in my case the mouse is moving all over the screen, such as this case:

When the user put its mouse over the 'red cross' to close the window, a message appears. So it means, I need to know the position of this 'red cross' when the window is reduced (but active) in the screen.

Hm... I am still not quite sure what is the problem. You want window to be closed without pressing red cross? Or you just need corrdinates for red cross but not interact with it?

Well, this gives you a position of the red cross:

$WinPos = WinGetPos ( "Untitled" )

Onscreen coordinates for the red cross are 

$WinPos[0] + $WinPos[2] - 15 , $WinPos[1] + 10

You can make a While 1 loop to make script get coordinates indefinite times if the window is literally moving around constantly.

Also, have you tried Controlsend ALT+F4 to window you want to close if that is your goal?

Wow, it was I wanted! How you know that, could I have documentation about that, or to explain me, how you get this value?

It's from the help file of the function WinGetPos  

https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/WinGetPos.htm

Return Value

Success:

a 4-element array containing the following information:     $aArray[0] = X position     $aArray[1] = Y position     $aArray[2] = Width     $aArray[3] = Height

So $WinPos[0] = notepad window X position for example.

He found the red cross position by simply opening notepad and calculated that the position was for X : (notepad window position X + notepad window width) - 15

Thanks a lot for your help

To get exact positions of minimize, maximize and close button (and not guess it with WinGetPos) look at CaptionButtonSize() function at this link:
