How to close OMI client from script?

Hi Kristen,

In InTouch you could use the wwcontrol command or sendkeys in a animation.

But they do not seem to work if placed in a symbol and used in OMI.

A way that I did is to create a Attribute in your ViewAppNamespace

Then set your layout up with a script capturing this and execute the sendkeys command.

'Close OMI
SendKeys("%{F4}");
MyViewApp.ViewAppNamespace.CloseOMI = false;
LogMessage("Close OMI initiated by user...");

Then you can trigger the Attribute from graphics animation

Perhaps there is a alternative way, but I was unable to find anything related to this in the documentation.

Using the sendkeys command (alt+f4) will not work if you have disabled the alt key to lock down your application.

Let me know if this works for you.

There are some other ways, but I think the best way is this one:

• Galaxy | Import | Script Library
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\ArchestrA\Framework\AcfSdk\Libs\ ArchestrA.Client.ViewApp.dll
  • This is the OMI toolkit
• Now in the script use:
  • ArchestrA.Client.ViewApp.ViewApplication.Application.CloseViewApplication();

That IS a very good way, thanks for sharing!

I have used the following script in a button on a graphic to close the ViewApp:

dim wProcess as System.Diagnostics.Process;

wProcess = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess();

wProcess.CloseMainWindow();

This might require Admin rights. Not sure, so check before using it in an environment where th operator does not have local admin rights.
