Autohotkey script for alt+F4

Question

I need a way to create a shortcut icon on the Desktop that when clicked, emulates the press of ALT+F4. I was thinking at AutoHotKey, I have bound the alt+f4 combination to F12, but then I can't manage to send the keystroke automatically. I want that when I run the script, it emulates Alt+F4 and then close itself. I don't know if there is a better way, I'm open to any solution

Thanks

Answer 1

WinGet, id, list
Loop, %id%
{
    this_ID := id%A_Index%
    If NOT IsWindow(WinExist("ahk_id" . this_ID))
        continue
    WinClose, ahk_id %this_ID%
        break
}
return

; This checks if a window is, in fact a window.
; As opposed to the desktop or a menu, etc.
IsWindow(hwnd){
   WinGet, s, Style, ahk_id %hwnd%
   return s & 0xC00000 ? (s & 0x100 ? 0 : 1) : 0
}

Just write a one line script that sends Alt-F4. But I'm assuming you want to shutdown downs? Why not use the Shutdown command - DOC: https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Shutdown.htm

You can also use the regular shutdown command that https://stackoverflow.com/questions/162304/how-do-i-shutdown-restart-logoff-windows-via-a-bat-file
