Description

Plug-in terminates application in 2 steps - first send WM_CLOSE to it's main window, then (if still alive) terminates application. Has sync/async (background) modes, async is good for slowly exiting applications and multithreading. 2 kB only in zip, so if you need system calls for correct process termination only, this may replace System plug-in with less size and simple script code. Final package size decreases too (4 kB).

Syntax

"fct" DLL function

fct::fct [/NOUNLOAD] WINDOW_CLASS WINDOW_TITLE [/ASYNC] [/PART] [/TIMEOUT=xxx] [/END]

Searchs for all windows with predefined 'class' and 'title' (or it's part). In the async mode returns running thread handle, in the sync one - terminated applications count (i.e. how many application not exited after WM_CLOSE and were terminated using TerminateProcess() ). Use 'wait' with this handle as parameter to get final result for this thread.

ASYNC

Not waits for process exit. Use 'wait' call if you want to get result

TIMEOUT

timeout for SendMessage() and WaitForSingleObject(). Default is 1000 (ms).

PART

WINDOW_TITLE is only a part of window title (caption)

"wait" DLL function

ExecDos::wait handle

Waits for process exit.

handle

Control thread handle returned by 'fct' call in the /ASYNC mode.

Example

Sync execution:

    fct::fct '${WND_CLASS}' '${WND_TITLE}' /timeout=2000 /part '/question=$(termMsg)'
    Pop $0
    MessageBox MB_OK "Terminated count=$0"

Async execution:

    fct::fct /nounload '${WND_CLASS}' '${WND_TITLE}' /async /timeout=2000 /part '/question=$(termMsg)'
;    Place your code here. We skipped hThread Pop and Push - it sits in the stack. 
    fct::wait
    Pop $0
    MessageBox MB_OK "Terminated count=$0"
