Handle proc

#1 Post by ZZZZZ » Sat Aug 29, 2015 9:29 pm

Just wondering how do I get the handle proc of the Micromacro window that is executing said code? Trying to use process.terminate(handle proc) to close MM when the ArcheAge window it is attached to closes.

Tried

Code: Select all

process.terminate(window.getAppHwnd())
but getAppHwnd returns a number and I need userdata which I have no idea how to acquire

Code: Select all

Failed to run init function, err code: 7 (Runtime error)
aatest.lua:38: bad argument #1 to 'terminate' (userdata expected, got number)
stack traceback:
        [C]: in field 'terminate'
        aatest.lua:38: in function <aatest.lua:31>
Probably some simple function that I havn't seen ^.^

I don't have mm2 installed but from looking at the documentation
open

procHandle process.open(number procId)

Attempt to open and return a handle to a process for reading/writing. Accepts only the process's ID.


Maybe you can use

Code: Select all

handle = process.open(window.getAppHwnd())
process.terminate(handle)
I'm not sure but maybe you can also use

Code: Select all

handle:terminate()

Try this:

Code: Select all

local procId = process.findByWindow(window.getAppHwnd());
local proc = process.open(procId);
process.terminate(proc);

Is there a reason you're forcefully terminating like that though? I imagine you could also just do t his:

Code: Select all

os.exit();
That should terminate things slightly more gracefully.
