Syntax
AppClose [WindowName$]
Remarks
Closes the specified application.
Argument | Explanation |
WindowName$ | In Windows, a string that matches the beginning of an application window name, as it appears in the title bar or Task List. If omitted, Word is assumed. On the Macintosh, WindowName$ is either the application name or the signature returned by MacID$(). For more information on WindowName$, see AppActivate. |
Example
This example closes Microsoft Excel if it is running:
If AppIsRunning("Microsoft Excel") Then
AppClose "Microsoft Excel"
End If
On the Macintosh, you can rewrite the previous example as follows, using MacID$() to specify the Microsoft Excel signature. This ensures the example will work even if the user has changed the filename for Microsoft Excel.
If AppIsRunning(MacID$("XCEL")) Then
AppClose MacID$("XCEL")
End If
