Closes the specified window. If the window specified is the "main window" of an application - that application will be closed.
Generally used to close applications or clear dialog boxes. If the application does not have a main window - then End Process may be used to shut it down. Although Close Window (with Request parameter set to YES) is preferred because the application is properly notified.
Specifies the title of the Window to close. The value is case-insensitive. This parameter supports wildcards (* and ?), for example "*Internet Explorer* would include all Windows containing that text. Note: If this parameter is left blank the action assumes it is searching for a Window title that is blank - to ignore the WIndow title, use *.
Specifies the class of the Window to act on. The value is case-insensitive. This parameter supports wildcards (* and ?), for example "*Internet Explorer* would include all Windows classes containing that text. Note: If this parameter is left blank the action assumes it is searching for a Window class that is blank - to ignore the WIndow class, use *.
Specifies the handle of the Window to act on. If set to 0 or omitted the parameter is ignored.
When enabled, specifies that hidden (non-visible) windows should be included in the window search. By default hidden windows are considered unavailable.
Specifies whether the window will be "requested" to close giving the application the opportunity to clean up and prompt to save - or "forced" to close which could cause the application to loose data.
There are two available options:
request: Request Close - The
system will request the window to close as though the user had
clicked the close button. The application will then be able to
perform clean up and may prompt the user to save any open work. The
application is responsible for handling the close request properly.
force: Force Close - The system will force the window to close which could cause any open applications to lose unsaved data.
The contents tab contains standard window dissection parameters used to describe controls or text inside a window. These parameters are the same on every action that specifies a window and are documented under Window Dissection Parameters.
