InTouch 10.0 - How to close already opened file

Hi,

I have file "test.csv" where I am writting some values.

And I have one button that opens this file "test.csv" when
I press on.

Code for button:
IF InfoAppActive( InfoAppTitle("notepad C:\test.csv")) == 1 THEN

ActivateApp InfoAppTitle("notepad C:\test.csv");

ELSE

StartApp ("notepad C:\test.csv");

ENDIF;

I would like to check if this file is already opened, in case if it is than I'd like to close it!
How can I do that - check if the file is already opened?

Thanks, M.

I think you answer your own question?

InfoAppActive( InfoAppTitle("notepad C:\test.csv")) == 1

Try this:

WWControl (InfoAppTitle("notepad C:\test.csv"), "Close");

The above is from: http://www.icsen.com/technotes/start.asp

Thanks theDave2 for solution and for the link.

theDave2 I tried your solution but it didn't work.

I paste your code to button action, I had my test.csv open and I
pushed this button and nothing happened.


I tested my code pasted above and I figured out that the first part never executes. When I press on button
I get one more notepad window test.csv opened not just one.
Why I don't know!

Here is the code that works!

IF InfoAppActive ( "test.csv - Notepad" ) == 1 THEN
ActivateApp ( "test.csv - Notepad" );
ELSE
StartApp ("Notepad C:\test.csv");
ENDIF;

And code to close file in case that is already opened:
WWControl ( "test.csv - Notepad", "CLOSE" );

Thanks for help, M

I set up a quick test.

InfoAppTitle("notepad C:\test.csv") on the screen shows nothing.

InfoAppTitle("notepad") shows "test.csv - Notepad"

So either change the above or perhaps use:

IF InfoAppActive("test.csv - Notepad") == 1 THEN

The parameter of InfoAppActive must match exactly and is case sensitive.

I tried this:

text3 = InfoAppActive("test.csv - Notepad");

WWControl (text3, "Close");

and it closed the window. Of course, if there is changed text there is a prompt to Save the changes.


In any case, test each function by itself to see that it returns (or what does) what you expect. Then when everything is tested by itself, start combining together.
