Apparently

it is a script that checks if notepad is running, then closes it if it is...

Insert original signature here with Greasemonkey Script.

This is a macro that tries

This is a macro that tries to close a process in a couple different ways.

First it searches the specified window CLASS, not title in this case, although a specific window title can be specified in the FindWindow command in addition to the class if you want/need to.

That search returns the window HWND (handle) if it exists, if not it exits (window wasn't found). Then it uses the window handle to get the process handle.

First it tries to close the process by sending the window the ${WM_CLOSE} window message (like clicking the X button in the corner of a window). It waits the specified timeout period, and if it fails asks if you want to terminate the app. If so, it tries to terminate the process directly (like using Task Manager to kill an app).

Check the bottom of this page for the other FindWindow options -

thanks i get it now

see here is what i want to do:

create a app like eject script that uses gets all of the apps on the drive, then closes them, if it cannot then it will ask if you want to terminate them. After all of that is done i found an open source program that will eject the drive for you. And i want the whole app to be in the portableapps format.

last question, can i use autoit and still hav the app be considered in the portableapps format?

I should think so. There's

I should think so. There's nothing that demands launchers are written in NSIS.

By the way, there are process plugins for NSIS, and builtin commands in AutoIt3 for controling processes. You don't *have* to use that script above.

yes i saw those but...

they mostly dealt with terminating the process not closing them. If i make a "ejectscript" like app i don't want people to lose any changes/stuff that the app does on close.

Edit: found one!!!
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/FCT_plug-in

question though:

also is there a way you could find a class name using nsis code?

I'm sure you can find the class from, say a window title or process name, but you'd need to use the System plugin and WinAPI calls I think. But I don't know how to do that Sad
