Economy-x-Talk - Sample Scripts

Close Apple Guide Upon Quit

The problem of Apple Guide is that its windows don't close after closing a window. This AS script searches for the AppleGuide extension in the running progresses and quits the AppleGuide process. You can put this script in an AS applet, for instance.

You can also use this script in your HC standalones, perhaps with a different handler.

If you use this script in an applet, remove the dashes from the <continue quit> line.

MS





on run {}
 display dialog "This is an example showing how to quit Apple Guide" & ¬
  " even in localised system version." buttons {"Okay"} default button 1 with icon 1
end run

on quit {}
 closeGuide()
 -- continue quit
end quit

on closeGuide()
 set y to ""
 set guideName to ""
 tell application "Finder"
  set theProcess to the processes as list
  repeat with x in theProcess
   get creator type of x
   if the result is "reno" then
    set guideName to name of x
   end if
  end repeat
 end tell
 if guideName is not "" then
  tell application guideName to quit
 end if
end closeGuide
