Wondering how "CloseApplication" works under the hood - WPF.

Post by Brent Arata » Mon Dec 22, 2014 10:39 pm

I was wondering what happens when Ranorex API calls "CloseApplication" for a Windows 8 wpf application. Does "CloseApplication" just call Taskkill via command line to kill a process?

Hello Brent,

Ranorex sends a WM_Close to the top-level window of the chosen element. If there is a grace period defined Ranorex waits for the window to be closed, if it is still open Ranorex kills the process.

Robert
