Re^9: How to close an application window in Background? (GuiTest PostMessage)

And I did this also insted of above one.

Congratulations, you found the right constants

Both did not work.

Well, hwndSendKeys () isn't perfect, but it did send ascii keys successfully to a background window

What were you expecting it to do that it didn't do for you?

Here is my full code, Please go through it... Let me know what are the errors, and the changes to be made.

  #perl
use constant WM_KEYDOWN => 0x0100;
use constant WM_KEYUP => 0x0101;
  use Win32::GuiTest qw(FindWindowLike MenuSelect WaitWindow WMSetText
+ PushChildButton GetSystemMenu SetForegroundWindow);
  system('"start %windir%\system32\mstsc.exe"');        #--System prog
+ram to open the the Remote Desktop Connection application
  sleep(2);        #let me see the window
  $max_Sleep_time=5;    #--Maximum wait in sec to open the Remote Desk
+top Connection application 
  WaitWindow("Remote Desktop Connection",$max_Sleep_time);
  @windows = FindWindowLike(0, "Remote Desktop Connection");
  for (@windows)         #--for each of the open windows do the follow
+ing
  {
       #--MenuSelect("&Close", 0, GetSystemMenu($_,FALSE));
        hwndSendKeys($_,"%{F4}")
  }


sub hwndSendKeys {
    my ( $hwnd, $keys, $delay) = @_;
    $delay = 25 unless defined $delay;
    $delay /= 1000;
    my @k = Win32::GuiTest::parse_keys($keys);
    for ( my $i = 0; $i < @k; $i+=2) {
        if ( defined $k[$i]) {
            Win32::GuiTest::DbgShow("SendRawKey(@k[$i,$i+1])\n");
#~             Win32::GuiTest::SendRawKey( @k[$i,$i+1]);
               my( $key, $updown ) = @k[ $i, $i+1 ] ;
               my $wmupdown = WM_KEYDOWN();
               $wmupdown = WM_KEYUP() if $updown == 2;
               Win32::GuiTest::PostMessage( $hwnd, $wmupdown, $key , 0
+ );
            select(undef,undef,undef,$delay); ## deprecated
            $i+=2; ### SUPER BROKEN otherwise DOUBLING bug
        } else {
            $k[$i+1]-> ();
        }
    }
}

Well, F4 isn't exactly ascii ...

Read more... (229 Bytes)

my idea is to use PostMessage (like hwndSendKeys does) to to send a close the window message ... WM_CLOSE
